14. Have we achieved perfection in
the LMS marketplace?
Can we sit back and relax?

15. No.
We cannot relax, we must push
harder. Learning is changing.

16. Grand Challenges
●Scalability
●Systems with a million students
●Courses with 100,000 students
●Learning Analytics
●The move to mobile as sole device
●Building / using tools outside the LMS

17. Who Owns Your Data?
●Cloud-hosted systems owned by US vendors
●Externally hosted tools from US vendors
●Analytics from proprietary vendors
●All lead to a loss of control over the data for
your students and teachers

18. Sakai-10/11 Performance
●In order to scale Sakai to >1M users
●Non-sticky session / dynamic failover
●Reconfigure without reboot

central LMS that provides core functions and
additional tools outside the LMS for advanced
or unique functionality
