Sakai O' Deployment and Management: Open Source Collaboration and Learning for Higher Education (Paperback) (Sakai O 的部署與管理：高等教育的開源協作與學習)

The Sakai Open Academic Environment (OAE) provides a unique collaboration system for university campuses: a social network that helps students discuss class materials, pursue research, communicate with faculty, and discover the risks and benefits of sharing personal information—all in a private, rather than public, forum. This example-driven guide will get you up to speed on various methods used to deploy, customize, and manage OAE, whether you’re an IT specialist in an educational institution, or an academic or instructional technologist.
