Abstract:

Dave Lambert will examine the current trend toward collaborative open source software development (Sakai, Chandler, uPortal, and so forth) in higher education, exploring issues critical to assessing the long-range impact on campus systems. His assessment will include an historical perspective, locate this new paradigm in relation to the traditional buy-versus-build choices, and discuss issues related to institutional deployment and life-cycle support.
