2. What? Using Sakai in a non-traditional way: “Sakai use is expanding into other learning organizations and often folks want to use it for other kinds of learning needs.

4. Questions you’ll need to answer: •  Is the course self-paced or is there instructor involvement? •  Can anyone register for free or get a discount and how will that work? •  What kind of monitoring do I want to do? •  How long can the students take to complete the course? •  Are their other stakeholders that need info? •  What constitutes successful completion? •  How long is certification valid for?
