Welcome to the new LL4Education site - we have upgraded from Elgg version 0.9 to v1.5 which provides much greater potential for new facilities to be built by the Open Source community which we can incorporate both here and, much more importantly, into the new LL4Schools site which will be relaunched in September on this new platform.
We are also changing how we charge: we will now offers schools the change to register fro FREE and get 20 user accounts they can use for as long as they like. Very soon we will also have a payment gateway where schools can pay online to upgrade from the free service to the full system with named users and the ability for the school administrator to create users themselves.
There is much still to do but we are very excited with the new Elgg platform and the educational potential for schools to work with real web2.0 tools safety with both a global audience and global collaborators.
