It was a difficult decision - we received many fantastic submissions, for which we must thank you all. Congratulations to the Free Radicals, and thanks again for all your hard work. We'll showcase the runners up in a later post. Keywords: elgg, logo, logo competition Posted by EduSpaces news | 2 comment(s) August 03, 2005

This new academic year is shaping up to be an interesting time for Elgg. We have a handful of good sized pilots launching in this first semester which is great news. This will allow the Elgg team to gather useful data on such things as usability, usage, pedagogical impact, improvements required etc.
This data will influence the future direction of Elgg as well as other tools of this type. If you are running an Elgg pilot and are willing to share some of your findings with the Elgg team and the wider community please get in touch. All contributions will play an important part in shaping these learning tools. Posted by EduSpaces news | 0 comment(s) |
