Eduglu is a Drupal-based social learning platform that aims to solve the problems of building quality social networking and social learning websites in Drupal, as well as sharing learning tools between groups. The platform provides core features out of the box to get users up and running quickly, and also serves as an extensible framework for more complex use cases. Going forward, the roadmap includes pushing Eduglu to beta, fixing bugs, adding missing features like improved group tools, following capabilities, and building an Eduglu community around documentation and collaboration.
