My presentation on Eduglu at TTIX in Salt Lake City June 2010.

1. Eduglu Open Source Drupal-based Social Learning Platform

5. Hard to SETUP a) Takes great skill + effort to find/understand/use successfully b) Tools (twitter, blogger, facebook, flickr, second life, etc not designed for education

6. Logistics Tough Students HATE having to learn multiple tools for one class It's a lot of work for teachers to manage

7. Often Confusing Tools aren't designed for educational use. So teachers/students have to work around assumptions of the tool.

8. No Consistency Across tools, classes, majors. Each class using social media is one-off experiment. This can't scale.

9. State of social learning in 2010?

10. Very few people using it

11. Arguing for centralized social learning platform

12. Eduglu in other words :)

13. Eduglu = Education Glue

14. Tool Glue Gluing together l egacy LMS systems, SIS, gradebooks, and 3rd-party learning tools such as Google Docs, wikis, blogs, micro-blogging platforms such as Twitter, and so on.

15. Social Glue Gluing together robust learning communities of all sorts on and off-campus
