### About Sakai

Sakai is a set of software tools designed to help instructors, researchers, and students create websites for collaboration. Using a web browser, users choose from a set of features to create a site that meets their needs.

Here are some examples of websites possible to create using Sakai software:

- A project director can create a website to make announcements and share resources, such as documents or links to other resources on the web.
- An instructor can create a website that serves as an online discussion board for students to collaborate on an assignment
- A student can create a class website to work on and submit assignments electronically

Sakai software is part of the Sakai Project (www.sakaiproject.org), an R&D project for creating open source collaborative tools for use in learning, research, and other types of distributed group work.
