Sakai
Sakai is an open-source learning management system (LMS) and collaborative environment designed for educational institutions, primarily used for online and blended learning. It provides tools for course management, content delivery, assessments, communication, and collaboration among students and instructors. The platform is widely adopted in higher education and supports features like gradebooks, forums, wikis, and integration with other academic systems.
Developers should learn Sakai when working in educational technology, particularly for universities or schools that use it as their primary LMS, to customize, extend, or maintain the platform. It's useful for building plugins, integrating with student information systems, or developing new educational tools within its framework. Use cases include creating custom modules for specific courses, automating administrative tasks, or enhancing user interfaces to improve the learning experience.
