Implementing Elgg in HE - Stan Stanier

ElggJam 07 confirmed!

I'm very pleased to be able to announce that this year's Elgg conference (ElggJam) will be held at the university of Brighton on 11th July. Whilst this has already been advertised on Eduspaces elsewhere and on Explode, I thought I'd also post it here as several people expressed an interest when I first posted about it a while ago. The conference is free and will include a buffet lunch and will be held in our new state-of-the-art Creativity centre so expect some stunning visuals! We're getting a significant amount of interest and currently, there are only 20 places left so if you wish to come along, please register by sending an email to ElggJam07@brighton.ac.uk. For more details, visit the conference web site at http://community.brighton.ac.uk/e10/ . We're also trying to arrange remote/web conferencing to allow those who can't make it to participate so if you're interested let us know and it will help us determine what technologies we need to have in place to cater for demand. 

We're also looking for participants to present 20 minute case studies of Elgg use so if you have experiences you want to share then do let us know.

  2. Cheers Nathan - we're investigating the technologies needed for remote participation and I'll get back to you once we know what's happening.

  4. Oh, and if you're interested in an american installation, I'd be happy to put together a short video detailing our installation experiences.  We've got a fairly succesfull installation, and are looking at expansion opportunities.  If you're interested, see my recent blog post about the DESRIST paper we completed.  I do mention Brighton as one of the flagship elgg installations :-)

  5. Hi Stan,

    I am aware there are no places left for the Elgg Jam anymore. They "sold out" very quickly Smile and that enticed my curiosity about this tool even more!

    I as hoping we could discuss about your experiences concerning the use of Elgg in the HE context one of these days... maybe virtually (email/skype?)

    I also belong to the Emerge CoP and am really interesting in tools that especially enhance levels of collaboration and allow learning in a social network. 

    Hope to share some ideas soon.

     BTW, great blog!
