Elgg Up and Running

The Elgg project with the Business, Economics and Law module 'ICT & Study Skills for Business and Economics' is now up and running. The students have been introduced to Elgg and encouraged to experiment - to reflect, connect, share, discuss and discover. Or so we hope.

The project is being run by Paul Latreille with support from Kemi Adamson and Chris Hall from LIS.

"Elgg has been developed to serve as a stand alone learning space or as a complimentary addition to existing learning environments. The emphasis with Elgg is very much on the learner. Elgg looks to give learners the means to control and own their own development and growth through the use of everyday web technologies.

These technologies provide learners with the ability to control their own learning through the creation of their own online learning communities (both formal and ad-hoc), connection to other learners and resources, reflective potential, information gathering and sharing
