I have a professor who uses Sakai (the university as a whole used Blackboard, but switched to Moodle, another open source option, this year). Sakai may be better than Blackboard, but that's not saying much. The ui is still terrible and it's filled with inconsistent and confusing behaviors. I've no idea what it's like from the instructors perspective, but as a student it's barely usable.
Moodle is about the same as Sakai in this regard, but Blackboard is simply terrible. This is clearly a market that needs to be shaken up, and I hope these guys are the ones to do it.
- krakensden 16y agoSakai's forum feature is pretty impressively broken, I had a professor try to get students to use it and it was an enormous, ongoing disaster as people were thwarted by the UI at every turn.
- neovive 16y agoI agree that there are some UI issues in Sakai. I particularly dislike how the back button does not work as expected due to the way the sessions are maintained. However, with the source being available, it is only a matter of time before improvements are made.
