Installs social learning system based on ELGG.
Customization. Open source. Supporting infrastructure.
Created a site where learning professionals could experiment with using ELGG
At first, people came to network. Now the system hosts courseware. It’s become SoLearn (short to Social Learning) because that’s what it’s about.
Jane walks us through SoLEARN.
Jane has installed a dozen SoLEARN environments this year including University of London. Check out her site to see what this stuff looks like. Communications network for faculty as well as learning tool.
Users find ELGG quite intuitive.
Also installed system for social learning for World Wildlife Foundation in Geneva. LEARN PERFORM. Worldwide reach. Frequent blogging, bookmarking, intra-organizational communication among 350+ employees.
By the way, all sessions at LearnTrends are being recorded, so if you’re interested in learning more, drop by our community site.
