Personal learning view

Elgg -- A Personal Learning Landscape. Elgg is an open source Web application combining elements of weblogging, e-portfolios, and social networking to create what its authors term a "personal learning landscape" (Tosh and Werdmuller 2004b). The application promotes learner-centered expression through "personal web publishing", while facilitating the formation of peer-to-peer (P2P) learning communities in which knowledge sharing, conversation, and reflection can take place. http://www.tesl-ej.org/ej34/m1.html
