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 http://www.arckinteractive.com/blog/2009/11/15/building-a-social-learning-environment-using-elgg/feed/ 0 We just launched our third enterprise class social network for Wiley & Sons Publishing! http://www.arckinteractive.com/blog/2009/11/02/launched-enterprise-class-social-network-wiley-sons-publishing/ http://www.arckinteractive.com/blog/2009/11/02/launched-enterprise-class-social-network-wiley-sons-publishing/#comments Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:43:32 +0000 Paul http://arckinteractive.com/blog/?p=62 wiley_home_top_small

Working for Garfield Group Interactive over a period of 6 months, we developed a scalable social network based on Elgg. Functionality included: one-click login integration with Wiley’s existing faculty system ProfVal; role-based access with custom profiles; intelligent dashboard widgets that suggest content to users based on their professional and personal interests; a custom content management system plugin allowing Wiley to deliver context and discipline specific content to users; a complete events management system; custom file/resource (documents, videos, audio) sharing; granular analytics and reporting; blogs, user groups and forums.
