Their primary goal was to improve teaching, learning and research by providing a compelling alternative to proprietary learning systems, an innovative platform for learning and collaboration that is produced by and for the higher education community.
The University of Michigan, Indiana University, MIT and Stanford University, soon joined by the University of California, Berkeley and Foothill Community College, each contributed existing tools to the project, which was originally funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation. The largest of the universities’ contributions was the University of Michigan’s “CHEF” course management system, which led the original work team to name the project after famed Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai. With this auspicious beginning, the Sakai project was born.
The java-based Sakai project became freely available in March, 2005. Later that year, Indiana University became the first institution to shift away from its legacy systems to the new, open source learning system. Others soon followed.
