UM Releases Specs For eLearning Software Project

Software Developers listen up. The University of Michigan has released preliminary specifications for higher education open-source software to support off campus eLearning, part of the Sakai Project. These specifications, called the Sakai Technology Portability Profile, will ensure software being developed will operate across the systems of participating university partners: UM, Stanford University, Indiana University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "The release of the Technology Portability Profile marks the beginning of open-source software components that can be connected together to better support campus research and learning," said Joseph Hardin, Sakai Project Board chairman.
