Groups
Once you have found others with similar interests - or perhaps you are part of a research groups or a course/class - you may want to have a more structured setting to share content and discuss ideas. This is where Elgg’s powerful group building can be used. You can create and moderate as many groups as you like
You can keep all group activity private to the group or you can use the ‘make public’ option to disseminate work to the wider public.
Each group produces granular RSS feeds, so it is easy to follow group developments
Each group has its own URL and profile
Each group comes with a File repository, forum, pages and messageboard
