Why SaaS for Colleges?
•Smaller colleges are less likely to have expertise
–Java, Tomcat, Subversion, Ant, Maven…
•SaaS lowers threshold for use
–Train and access within a week at a low cost
•Teaching and learning are paramount
–Sakai is providing pedagogical flexibility
–Good argument for Sakai in general
•Achieve this innovation at lower risk without long term commitment through SaaS
