This week The Bwog, Columbia's undergraduate student blog, published an interview with CCNMTL Director of Services Dan Beeby on "the what, how and why" of the new CourseWorks system. Entitled What's So New About New Courseworks? Beeby addresses questions about why Columbia decided to transition to the new Sakai system, the development process, and new features.

The piece provides a good behind-the-scenes history of the transition to Columbia's new course management system, plus some helpful tips for students and faculty.
