Wiley Elgg Development

Client:
Wiley & Sons Publishing via Garfield Group Interactive

Project:
Wiley Faculty Network / Online Learning

Type:
Public Social Network / Elgg Development

The Challenge:
Create an engaging social network to enable Wiley staff and their faculty network to connect with colleagues, find mentors, attend virtual and live events and post-event discussion groups, and view a wealth of resources all designed to help them grow as educators. Completely integrate the system with Wiley’s existing legacy applications, allowing one-click login across systems, bi-directional metrics/reporting and total information sharing.

Our Response:
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.

Built Using:
Elgg, Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Zend, REST
