The following Sakai tools are valuable for my course-related activities

Instructors: General LMS Comments

I think that we need to continue to give Sakai a chance, more than one semester won't be enough to learn the ins and outs of this software.

Sakai provides all of the features I need to support my teaching.

I would like to see us move to Sakai 3, and also to move the Sakai implementation out of pilot.
