SAKAI tools and architecture
This event took place on Wednesday 28 September 2005 at 11:00
Dr. Charles Severance University of Michigan Duderstadt Center, USA
SAKAI is a US based project developing open source tools for learning environments. This talk will look at the development of such tools and give an update on the project.
Charles is currently a Software Architect at the University of Michigan Duderstadt Center working on tools for online collaboration for teaching, learning, and research.
He is currently Chief Architect on the Sakai project (www.sakaiproject.org). He also is working on the NEESgrid project (www.neesgrid.org) and the National Middleware Initive grid portal project (www.ogce.org).
Charles is the Author of the book High Performance Computing, Second Edition, published by O'Reilly and Associates.
Charles has taught Computer Science courses at the University of Michigan and Michigan State University.
Charles has developed several tools to assist in the production of multimedia web-based lectures. The tools are called the Sync-O-Matic 3000 and ClipBoard-2000.
Charles is active in television and radio as a hobby, he has co-hosted several television shows including "Nothin but Net" produced by MediaOne and a nationally televised program called Internet:TCI. Charles also appeared for many years as an expert on Internet and Technology on a call-in radio program on a local Public Radio affiliate (www.ogce.org).
Charles has a B.S., M.S., and Phd. in Computer Science from Michigan State University. His research area is the use of parallel processors for High Performance Computing and the use of the Internet to deliver educational content.

New Media Systems is...
Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.
Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.
Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
