Wanted: EduVibes Application

A comment from Marco on my post about Jeremy’s e-portfolio model got me thinking about how nice it would be to have a NetVibes-esque appplication for teachers and learners.  It would aggragate and display - in a public dashboard fashion - recent blog posts; comments; activity on social networking services like Flickr, 43 Things, 43 Places, YouTube, etc.; subscription lists to podcasts, news, and blogs; while having its own interactive features, such as a commenting and perhaps even a behind-the-scenes discussion forum for students and teachers to communicate about the experience.  There could even be a meta-EduVibes page that aggregates all student activity and displays it for all to see, while highlighting the most flourishing discussions and popular posts.

Can someone please make this for us?

    Hi Aaron,

    Great idea!

    Have you check out D’Arcy Norman’s blog? He’s set aside some space on eduforge to spark some development.

    Thanks Carolyn, I’ll have to take a closer look at what D’Arcy is writing about. It looks promising.

    Hi Aaron,

    This is on the current roadmap for Elgg. All this functionality will be available by the end of August (depending on coding time).

    You can check out the last roadmap here:
