"Coexistence and interoperability, however, should not imply merely having links from the LMS to external tools as is too often the case."

"Where's Sakai headed?   Toward interoperability without sacrificing customizations, flexibility, diverse feature set, peer-based innovation and lower costs. Sakai 10 is about to be released. This release celebrates ten years of Sakai providing flexibility, control and cost savings.  Sakai 10 is the first of a series of releases that will respond to the needs of higher ed stakeholders everywhere."

"Given our current, collective limitations, what are we to do? Instead of searching out alternative platforms, we might partner with LMSs to reconceptualize the LMS as a platform. In many ways, the LMS is already beginning to evolve in this direction. Canvas has their App Store, which is a more individual faculty-driven model. John Baker of D2L recently utilized the oft-referenced Lego analogy. LMSs in general are moving away from individual building blocks or custom integrations towards open standards like LTI, but the robustness of that interoperability is still inconsistent across what version of LTI their product meets."

""My dream is that every single person on the planet can build their own LMS, if that is what they want to do. I want to build an ecosystem of tools that make life easier for teachers""
