IBM Open Education Service: Collaborative Learning Edition

Deliver cost-effective online collaboration and learning

In an increasingly scrutinized educational environment, some common challenges face school districts, colleges and universities alike: the need to upgrade the level of instruction, the desire to offer more personalized and relevant education for students, and the goal of enabling faculty and staff with the best possible tools to achieve their teaching objectives.

IBM can help – with a secure, hosted, open-source and open standards-based application that enables instructors to collaboratively create online course Web sites to support learning, or project Web sites to support collaborative work.

The first in a family of offerings related to the IBM Open Education Roadmap, Collaborative Learning Edition is a hosted, flexible, open-source application that enables instructors to collaboratively create online course Web sites to support learning, based on the Sakai Collaborative Learning Environment from IBM Business Partner rSmart. This service:
  • Provides low cost, reliable tools to support teaching and learning
  • Enables secure student, faculty and administrator access to online courses and activities
  • Facilitates collaborative course development
  • Removes the IT maintenance burden from institutions of all sizes
