    Open content licensing may not be a red-hot issue in the foundation sector, but it is emerging as a salient one with consequences in many fields. It is an inherently complex issue. In an attempt to learn more about the licensing practices that are used in the world of private charitable foundations - and specifically to learn the degree to which open content licensing may or may not be appropriate in that sector and why - the Berkman Center and the Hewlett Foundation commissioned the FDR Group, a nonpartisan public opinion research firm, to conduct a qualitative research study.

Academic Study of Blackboard vs. Sakai at UNC School of Medicine - 0 views

  • ...2 more annotations...
  • It is telling that for the SOM, neither cost nor feature set stood out as the biggest difference between competing LMS products, but flexibility.
  • In UNC School of Medicine’s case, Sakai was judged to be more flexible than Blackboard.
