UBC had http://blogs.ubc.ca running on WordPress MU. We are also Developing a site http://digitaltattoo.ubc.ca, a site that educates students “about their rights and responsibilities around the creation and consumption of digital information”. The site will only be launched in September, but you can see the latest developments at http://digitaltattoo.ubc.ca/index.php (well hidden eh?) The “protect” tab should be pretty well fleshed out by now. If you would like some more information about how we do the back end just let me know.

Jeremy Boggs and I started ScholarPress, a hub for educational WordPress plugins that fits your presentation. So far we’ve released two plugins – Courseware, which is a streamlined course management system for your WP blog, and WP – which creates a Facebook application out of your WP blog.

You can check out both at http://scholarpress.net

Hi! I came here via Jim Groom. :)

I run a free blogging site for homeschoolers, based off WorpdressMU. Homeschoolers sign up and yes, get a free blog like you can at wp.com./ But! They’re homeschoolers, so while not just blogging, they are creating and sharing lessons plans, supporting one another, and gosh darn it, their kids are even creating blogs too. Either to work on assignments and report back, or to explore blogging itself. A few have moved on or “graduated” to a web host and a single-user install. They are also used as a formal record and to share with relative who maybe aren’t sure about the whole home learn’ thing.

Best good example I can give of one of our most prolific members is http://lapazfarm.homeschooljournal.net.

Hey Alan!

We’ve been using the pages feature to build a whole site with WordPress. It’s been great.

We’re updating our site and moving to ModX soon though…

Let me know if you want more info.
