| Lesson Builder (LSNBLDR) | Contrib - Lesson Builder (despite the page name, this is no longer contrib. It is now an indie tool in the core, but it will be hidden by default when 2.9 is released) - As an indie tool, it is independently released. Version. 1.4x will ship as part of 2.9. A binary for 2.8.1 is available. See Contrib - Lesson Builder for the location of the binary distribution and other information. Lesson Builder version 1.5 is for Sakai 2.10, but differs only in POM files from 1.4.
- New in 2.9:
- Comments tool - allow students to comment, optionally anonymous
- Student content tool - allows students to create pages, optional; other students can comment, content and/or tool can be anonymous
- User and site-wide style sheets
- Common Cartridge Import (per Sam Ottenhoff - the Sakai community sees the 2.9 tool Lesson Builder as the future best place to import an IMS Common Cartridge package. The reason is that Lesson Builder will be able to create a cohesive presentation of the package as opposed to Import from Archive Tool simply depositing the various assets in Sakai's various tools
- Add external tool using IMS BLTI (requires 2.9 version of BLTI)
