. Elgg,
is social networking software designed especially for education - built from
the ground up to support learning.
Elgg provides each user with their own weblog, file
repository (with podcasting capabilities), an online profile and an RSS reader.
Elgg is built on LAMP and is open source - released
under the GPL.
Elgg is not a centralized service. Whereas
most commercial networks are one space branded in one particular way, Elgg will allow
organizations to host their own systems customized to their specific requirements, but
still retain connectivity from site to site.
In the wider e-learning arena it may have implications - a lot of people
are using commercial services like Nuvvo (or more generalized ones like Flickr) in their
teaching. This would seem to be ruled out by DOPA; probably a good thing in the few cases
where people are actually setting up classrooms on Myspace and the like. This doesn't
mean we in any way approve of the Act; it's shortsighted, needlessly wide-ranging and I
think based on a half- understanding of the web as a medium.
