Training

Even though the open source software is free, schools that adopt this new technology need to get faculty and IT personnel up and running in the new paradigm. OLi provides both virtual and on-site training and support.

Get on Board!

Many schools want to join the growing academic community that is embracing open source answers such as Sakai. OLi was founded to assist schools in overcoming the barriers that can stand in the way of implementing an open source solution.

Barriers to an Open Source Software Solution May Include:

Redirection of IT staff and the need to purchase additional hardware.

OLi addresses this hosting barrier through our state-of-the-art data center. We provide all necessary hardware and software to get you up and running at the lowest cost possible.

Training of faculty and ongoing support.

OLi has partnered with the leaders in open source software. We can deliver in-person training to your campus or via web-based seminars. By partnering with OLi, we provide the roadmap, resources, and support to insure successful open source implementation at your institution.

Not all departments or schools on campus have the same needs.

OLi can set up an open source pilot even at the class or department level of a college or university. OLi can start as small as you want to, and we are proud of the flexibility we offer our customers. Whether we assist you with an open source pilot for 30 students or 30,000, our commitment to integrity and partnership is the same.
