Implementing Sakai at Your Institution

2 Small-scale Sakai at Boston University

3 School of Management 4000 users, roughly 100 concurrent users Small staff – A different set of skills Heavy user of Blackboard – Broad but shallow adoption Joined Sakai Feb. 2004

4 Non-technical challenges Re-orienting a department – Strategic shift from maintenance to open source development – Little Java skill and open source experience Buy-in from administration Buy-in from faculty – Pilot marketing

5 Pilot 5 faculty in Fall, 10 faculty in Spring Focus groups, experimental tool surfacing Unexpected outcomes – Research sites – Sparking reflection among faculty Establishing the infrastructure and practices – Local Subversion repo – Identifying feature gaps, developing training materials – Staging machines and deployment schedule

6 Migration (the year ahead) Running Blackboard and Sakai in parallel Moving to 2.2, depending on our own development

7 Staff 2 developers part-time (Sakai activity varies – say 1 FTE) 1 sys admin part-time (say 0.3 FTE) 1 DBA very part-time (say 0.05 FTE) User support (doubling as QA – say 1 FTE) Me – Sakai librarian – Sakai consultant – Sakai deployment R&D – Project management

8 Lessons (un)learned Don't run the latest release in production Sakai development is hard – And documentation is too good to be true Sakai is us – But collaboration costs, and we have to continue gauging efficiencies. – You can't ignore the social component.

future plans Legacy system phased out by fall 2007 Expansion to include professional schools Distributed support system

University of Michigan

17 Implementation Overview 5000 concurrent users, 90,000+ on system 3 years of running Sakai Running Migrated from home grown system Significant investment

18 Support Overview Customer Service/Technical Support Training (Academic and Administrative) Documentation Quality Control (testing) Technical Staff (for local integration and customization)

19 Operations Overview Data center, networking, storage, etc. Environments in use: – Test, Production, Load, Pilot Direct costs (hardware, software) Managing change once the software is up

20 Management Overview CTAC (Administrative Committee) CFAC (Faculty Advisory Committee) Campus Communications (CTools SIG, ATCommons, etc.) Migration experience

21 Key Learnings Maintaining a stable, yet cutting edge environment is very difficult Systems are 24 x 7 x 365; high customer expectations
