New Features Planned for Elgg

Dave Tosh and Ben Werdmuller are planning some great new developments for Elgg. The new developments will build out the presentation side of the tool, essentially making it a viable presentation e-portfolio solution. Here’s how it will work:

• Elgg users will be able to create presentations by extracting content based on keywords (similar to Gmail where you can create things called labels – you use these to house certain emails)
• the user will create a presentation called whatever they want – they will then be able to go and extract any content they want have have it display in this presentation
• the presentation will have its own URL which they can then point people to
• this enables users to create presentations for specific audience

This sounds great! And, will further secure Elgg’s position as a truly learner-centric tool. Can’t wait to see this new feature in practice.
