The old Online Learning is out at UF, and Sakai is in. Sakai, an open-source course management system, is run by a community of universities, including the University of Michigan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Cambridge University. It was chosen to replace UF’s previous system, WebCT Vista 8, because Blackboard, which runs WebCT, said it would stop supporting the program by October 2012. Already, there were plenty of problems with WebCT, according to Doug Johnson, the manager for UF’s e-Learning Support Services, such as issues with discussion boards and e-mails.
