Challenges for Implementing SAKAI in FET College Environment, South Africa

Speaker(s): Engela Franken

Session Abstract

South Africa faces unique challenges in the education environmnent. When Gert Sibande College (Futher Education and Training) decided to use SAKAI as LMS, we encountered a lot of resistance from the education community, mainly due to ignorance and lack of knowledge. The resistance we encountered from commercial partners had to be "managed" in a much more creative manner. We share Lessons learned.
