size=2>Something to keep in mind regarding Sakai - it is (essentially) being
developed by a number of different institutions all contributing various amounts
of code. One of the colleges in our system (California community colleges)
is using parts of Sakai for their learning management system; not the entire
package. So, the information you get regarding the accessibility of Sakai
pertains to Sakai and may not reflect the actual implementation of the learning
management system at your institution.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
