Online Discussion @ Maricopa

Dave Tosh & Ben Werdmuller are involved in a virtual discussion this week with Alan Levine and folks at Maricopa College. Dave & Ben just recently released the alpha version of their ELGG software to a selected group of testers. Alison & I have been able to have a look at it and must congratulate them on a fantastic job! They’ve combined social networking, blogging and e-portfolios under one roof. I believe the alpha test is invite-only at the moment but look for it to open up to a wider audience soon.

Alison has actually gone so far as to customize the templates in ELGG. Have a look at what she’s done. Very cool!

Check out the discussion, it’s all about ELGG & exploring ways to homogenise everyday web community technologies and practises to enhance the e-portfolio model.
