The Reasons for Change
Many faculty and students have voiced concern about the slowness and instability of MyUCDavis. We understand these concerns and recognize that it is imperative that UC Davis' learning information systems keep pace with the ever-increasing demands and expectations of students, instructors, and instructorsresearchers. Adopting the Sakai course management tools will allow UCDavis to enhance the tools already provided and additionally leverage within MyUCDavis, while leveraging the work, dedication, and support of an the international community towards its supportthat aids in Sakai's development.
