= **Haiku.** = by john Hutzler

Haiku - hosted solution - tremendously easy for students - learning curve for teachers - 30-60 days trial for schools - free for teachers for one course

- there's a parent module too - if there's a problem, you report and they work on it

- teacher driven system; students cannot create assignments - under "Assess" - the studnet can see the grades - better calendar feature than Moodle - is there an iCal feature?? let's ask - handing in the documents -no drag & drop yet / use the browse option - drag&drop works on the main page "add content block" - easy to embed youtube codes.. - changing skins for the pages seems easy

- administrator can login as that teacher, student - Share Class/share page features in the course page - system takes a snap shot & makes a copy - inserting a new page.. - can restore a class that's deleted

Pricing Annual licensing approx $8 per student, teacher $4000-$5000 for 450-500 students

- an app will come out for Haiku - basic parts will work on iPad - teacher pages have more features so it's a problem now

- full integration with GoogleApps - good support so far - Haiku sends a trainer for training
