But Elgg, open-source social networking software
developed at the University of Brighton, has been designed specifically with
academic uses in mind. -
The virtual learning environment model used by nearly all universities these
days is based on the traditional tutor-led, course-structured mode of learning
and doesn't easily allow for significant participation by students or for
crossing course boundaries," said Stan Stanier - 5 more annotations...

"Higher education is meant to be an environment for student-centered and
collaborative learning." -
Broadly, Elgg represents a shift from aging, top-down classroom technologies
like Blackboard to what e-learning
practitioners call personal
learning environments -- mashup spaces comprising del.icio.us feeds, blog
posts, podcast widgets -- whatever resources students need to document, consume
or communicate their learning across disciplines.The idea is spreading. Freely downloadable, Elgg now powers networks set up
by nearly 50 schools and colleges around the world, -
Even if Elgg doesn't grow to rival MySpace's 160 million members, Curverider's
Explode might help users stay connected
across competing networks. Individuals can make friends with one another no
matter whether their favorite haunt is Facebook, Flickr or their own blog. -
Developers say cross-platform networking could overhaul academic norms.
-
"In an education context, it will allow students and researchers to collaborate
outside the walls of their own institution."

Some schools ban social networks for wasting classroom time or to protect students from weirdos. But, as part of a wider trend toward less top-down teaching, other institutions are putting tools like MySpace, Bebo and Facebook on the curriculum -- and teachers are saying: "Thanks for the add."
Recent efforts to outlaw the Web 2.0 sites so beloved by teenagers include a congressional bill that would throttle funds to schools that do not restrict access. But Elgg, open-source social networking software developed at the University of Brighton, has been designed specifically with academic uses in mind.

Some of these features might cause tutors to balk, but Elgg's creators say the collaborative, conversational exchanges in which today's students have become so fluent outside class are the best way to deliver learning inside it.
