Sakai is an Open Source Collaboration and Learning Environment which is in Enterprise use at 200 Universities around the world with over a million users who use Sakai daily in their teaching and learning. The Sakai Foundation coordinates the activities of the Sakai open source community and provides shared resources to support the Sakai community activities. IMS GLC is a global, nonprofit, member association that provides leadership in shaping and growing the learning and educational technology industries through collaborative support of standards, innovation, best practice and recognition of superior learning impact. IMS standards such as IMS Content Packaging, IMS Question and Test Interchange, IMS Common Cartridge, IMS Learning Design, and IMS Learning Tools Interoperability form the backbone of data and functionality interchange between learning management systems from multiple vendors. The Sakai Foundation is the lead sponsor as Sakai has the open source infrastructure and processes needed to support this effort. The IMS Global Learning Consortium is providing access to the IMS LTI standards to this effort while the standards are in development.
