OWL Flight Plan – The Plan
Decision
Reasons
Lessons Learned• Don’t expect LMS features to dictate the
selection.
• Consider whether you need an RFP before beginning an RFP
• Open-source is a different culture (otherwise known as we are not open-source natives!!!!)
Seed Questions• How is the migration going?• What about Sakai OAE?• Just because you can customize the LMS –
should you?• What are the community’s expectations about
open-source? • Any additional lessons learned from your
experiences?
