[Using Sakai] Advice on Elluminate Implementation

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Mary,

There is a Wimba integration for Sakai, I have been working on a little bit and the most up to date code is here:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/swinsburg/wimba/

It's essentially a tool that connects to your Wimba environment and passes through some user information. It depends on proprietary Wimba jars though, which makes modifications difficult. Wimba don't provide a lot of support for this. But the tools works well and we and several other universities in Australia use it in production.

cheers,
Steve
