[Using Sakai] Module tool not a core tool?

[Anand Mehta]

Hello Fatima,

The Module tool (Melete) is developed by Etudes 
(http://etudesproject.org/index.html). I am not sure why it is not a core tool 
in Sakai, but some vendors include it in their version (e.g. rSmart's Sakai 
CLE).

In most cases when a tool is not part of the core set, you have to take care of 
the merging and deploying of the code. Also, for support you may have to 
subscribe to that group's email list.

I am sure other community members can provide more insights.

 Thanks,
Anand

Hello again
 
Hope I’m posting this issue  to the right forum. 
 We’re in the process of mapping and evaluating the tools on SAKAI with that of 
WEBCT( before we migrate to, I think, the 2.8 version)…..  and thus went to  the 
first port of call viz. the Tools 2.7 page on the confluence site i.e. 
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Tools+%282.7%29 

 
I notice however that the Module tool (or ‘Lesson’ tool called in some instances 
viz. University of Virginia)is not included in the core set of tools….Can 
someone please explain why this is so…? Would have thought this tool would be 
integral to a LMS… Am very confused.
 
What are the implications if a tool is not part of the core set?
 
Apologies if this is a really dumb question but trying to get my head around the 
different instances etc. 

 
Regards
