What is it?
Sakai is the learning management system for Pomona and the Claremont Colleges.
Why use it?
For every course at Pomona, a course sites is automatically generated before the start of each semester. This provides faculty and students an online hub where course materials and assignments are accessible at all times. Also, Sakai at the Claremont Colleges currently supports 32 learning management tools — including online quizzing, video streaming, and discussion forums — and is compatible with many third-party educational tools. This makes Sakai a convenient and multifaceted tool for both students and faculty.
