Hey, I’m famous! Someone has actaully quoted a web page I created: Using Moodle: Sakai Vs. Moodle. I’m totally chuffed!
And I think that this statement from this post is revealing:
“The Sakai community tends to be software developers and instructional technologists rather than faculty. “
But this is also true:
Posted by markp at February 28, 2006 12:54 PM“Rather than view the two development projects as competitive I believe we all can learn from experiences of both learning systems. Reports such as Joseph Cavanaugh’s “Teaching Online - A Time Comparison” and Kathy D. Munoz and Joan Van Duze’ report “Blackboard vs. Moodle: A Comparison of Satisfaction with Online Teaching and Learning Tools” are important to the effective use of any learning system.
Can’t we all just get along? I thought this was upposed to be a bazaar? The Moodle project is doing great stuff and the Sakai project is doing great stuff. I think they should just keep on keepin’ on, because neither is sapping strength from the other. And hey those .LRN peole and all the other scrappy little open source LMSs should keep at it too.
