[Using Sakai] Sakai to be officially adopted at UNC

[Josh Baron]

Brian,

This is wonderful news!  I think many of us have been following UNC's 
evaluation process, which has been very rigorous, so the news that Sakai 
has been selected is particularly noteworthy in my mind.

I'm hesitant to say "welcome to the community" as I think you've already 
been very active in it but...WELCOME!

Josh

Hi all,
  I just wanted to share the good news that the University of North 
Carolina at Chapel Hill has just voted to adopt Sakai as its official LMS! 
The transition from Blackboard to Sakai will be made by 2014. To those of 
us who have been strong Sakai proponents on our campus this is very 
welcome news. The Sakai pilot is in its third year at UNC, running 
alongside Blackboard and gaining users and supporters for all of that 
time. We look forward to a time when we'll be "made honest"! 
  Here is the article about the decision from the UNC newspaper, The Daily 
Tar Heel:

Cheers,
Brian
