Elgg is an open source social platform based around choice, flexibility,and openness; a system that firmly places individuals at the center of their activities. It supports student reflection and creating community. Unlike public social networking sites and blogs, your Elgg community is private and can only be seen by the people you authorize. Users have the freedom to incorporate all their favorite tools within one environment and showcase their content with as many or as few people as they choose. With Elgg, users are in control.

It provides teachers with a highly intuitive visual authoring environment for creating sequences of learning activities which can include a range of individual tasks, class activities, and others.
