Sakai Is Robust, Scalable, Community Supported
• After attending portfolio training hosted by Rutgers, provided by Janis Smith and Sean Kessler we understood the basics of portfolio development.
• Within eight months, with the help of Serensoft, were able to develop our matrix and showcase portfolio.
•We also received valuable support from V-Tech Teaching and Learning Conference participants and RiNet
