ELGG used at Harvard [news.elgg.org]
Elgg is starting to gain popularity and with ELGG 1.5 out we expect that to continue and expand. Solution Grove plans to be increasing our ELGG offerings soon.
Here is a case study on ELGG use in a program at Harvard: http://news.elgg.org/pg/blog/Dave/read/66/elgg-at-harvard-an-interview
Elgg follows the Facebook metaphor more then traditional LMS systems. However, its still a closed system where only your classmates can access your work if you wish. This gives students the physiological safety they need to explore their ideas.
The portfolio capabilities are appealing to students who need to show off their work during their job hunt.
