DESCRIPTION:
Tufts University recently made the decision to adopt the Sakai Collaboration and Learning Environment, and we are interested in building a community of campuses around New England who are using Sakai.

Join us on October 7th and connect with other schools in the area who are using Sakai or are considering adopting it as an open source platform for teaching, learning, research and collaboration. Connect with peer institutions in the Northeast that have implemented Sakai in a variety of different ways to support teaching, learning, research and eportfolio activity on their campuses.

Attendees should expect to:
- Learn more about the Sakai software platform as an open source option for higher education
- Gain a better understanding of how Sakai is meeting the needs of different institutions in New England
- Develop an understanding of how to leverage and participate effectively in an open source community like Sakai
- Network with other schools who are using or evaluating the system
- Participate in the creation of a New England regional open source community
