UniTime: Open Source, Open Algorithms, Open Innovation
Many universities contribute to UniTime, producing their own features and adaptations that are played back into the software for the general good. All UniTime code is available in GitHub, and UniTime's algorithms have been widely published in research papers and conference proceedings. Open source. Open algorithms. Open Innovation.

Columbia University Single Sign On: From Home-grown to Community
For almost ten years, Columbia University had been running a home-grown web single sign-on (webSSO) system called WIND, and integrating it with a variety of on-campus applications. When Columbia decided to adopt Google Apps they considered the effort required to extend WIND again, and decided it was time to consider a more standards-based approach. Columbia was attracted by the promise of less development, and faster deployment. They chose the Apereo Foundation Central Authentication Service (CAS), an open source WebSSO application that provides authentication for local and cloud-based applications.

The Juilliard School: Identity and Access Management with CAS
When the Juilliard School needed to securely connect its constituents to both local and cloud applications, it decided on open source Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions as the answer. With open source IAM solutions, programmers can review and validate the code, and users can collaborate and know that the information they are sharing will be delivered correctly and securely, to the appropriate group(s). Based on this conclusion, the Juilliard School chose to adopt Apereo Central Authentication Service (CAS) as its IAM solution.

Xerte at the University of Cape Town
When the University of Cape Town Library needed a tool to create content for their MOOC, they chose Xerte. Xerte's "author once, run anywhere" paradigm allowed them to author content independent of their MOOC - and retain and curate it independently.
