Scholar is the Virginia Tech deployment of Sakai. "Sakai is a set of software tools designed to help instructors, researchers, and students create websites for collaboration." Sakai is [[Free Software]] jointly developed by Virginia Tech, Michigan, Indiana, Virginia, Cambridge, Stanford, the University of California-Berkeley, Rutgers, Yale, Georgia Tech, University of Cape Town, and others. Scholar is running concurrently with [[Blackboard]] for the fall 2009 semester but will become the only online course tool beginning spring 2010.

Since [[Learning Technologies]] seemed always slow to upgrade [[Blackboard]] versions, certain features unavailable in the deployed BB version, such as RSS feeds, may be welcomed by the more tech-savvy students. During spring and fall 2009, professors had the option of using Scholar, but many chose not to, some citing fears of bugs.
