Sakai@UD - 10-29-2010 - M. Plourde 11 I’m waiting until the next semester I am teaching. I hope to catch up during slower times, like Summer.I’m about to retire, so don’t bug me! I don’t need any technology to teach my course! I don’t need an LMS anymore. Sakai is missing a feature I had in WebCT! I’m doing just fine with my own Web 2.0 stuff. Show me what is available at UD. I did not know about WebCT, but Sakai is great!
