“Our students deserve and expect high quality learning outcomes at a very reasonable cost,” says Wallace E. Boston, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The new APUS Learning Management System will allow us to continually improve and enrich the already high-quality educational experience our students and faculty enjoy by providing the open source alternatives and resources offered by Sakai’s collaborative community.”

In selecting Sakai, APUS has committed to assisting the open source community in the shared goal of creating a robust learning environment that combines technology, content, and services to meet the evolving needs of higher education. Close collaboration with the other institutions using Sakai will influence the future development and direction of next-generation higher education technology.

In addition to adopting Sakai software for its faculty and students, APUS has become a member of the Sakai Foundation. The Sakai Foundation is supported by voluntary partner contributions. Sakai Foundations member organizations elect the ten-member Board of Directors, which provide the strategic leadership for the Sakai Foundation.
