What differentiates Sakai from other similar products?
What makes Sakai different from other systems is its flexibility and ability to personalize learning.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I like the most about this tool is that learning through group collaboration and the exchange of information in real time using videoconferences is one of the best there is.
What do you dislike most about this product?
However, I would not like to see the system control panel overloaded with information, which can confuse and overwhelm users. It would also be beneficial if the Sakai LMS had more functionality for learning assessment and progress tracking.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
One of the reasons I can recommend this tool is because Sakai is very feature-rich and works well for many applications.
