Building a Social Learning Environment – using Elgg

Posted: November 15th, 2009 | Author: Jane Hart | Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments Off

On Tuesday 17th November I am going to be speaking at the Learn Trends Online Conference. My presentation is entitled Building a Social Learning Environment. Here's a sneak preview of what I#39;ll be saying ...

  • I am going to talk about organisational concerns of using public social media tools for their social learning initiatives
  • I am going to describe a solution to address these concerns: the open source social engine, Elgg
  • I am going to explain how I've implemented my own social learning environment at SoLEARN
  • I am going to feature two case studies of organisations I have worked with to implement an Elgg-powered social learning environment
  • I am then going to finish by mentioning some of the lessons learned along the way
  • Finally, there will be plenty of time for discussion around building a social learning environment

If you want to hear the presentation and be part of the discussion, you will need to sign up for Learn Trends
