Sakai Open Academic Environment (OAE) 1.2.0 release

RELEASE DATE: 25 April 2012

The Sakai Community is pleased to announce the release of the Sakai OAE version 1.2.0.

Sakai OAE is an open-source platform that promotes collaboration and sharing between users and interoperability between systems. It embraces a new vision for academic collaboration informed by the needs of learners, teachers and researchers.

OAE provides academic networking capabilities that encourage people to connect and participate actively in communities that span beyond the traditional boundaries of classroom and institution. Powerful content authoring capabilities permit mash-ups and remixable experiences of ideas, connectivity, dialog and media. Enhanced search capabilities aid discovery of people and content. A widget-based architecture simplifies both development and integration with external systems.
