Centralize, create, control and manage blogs at your institution

Centralize your blogs

Several different sites offer free blogs - but you have no control over what's posted or how they are used. With Campus you can monitor, manage and edit every aspect of every blog, run and support them from the same platform and offer comprehensive professional development.

Save time and money

Campus is much more affordable than running your own institutional blog setup. To setup a DIY blogging platform, at your own domain, with the kind of feature set Edublogs Campus provides, you should be prepared to spend thousands on hosting and tens of thousands on staff costs - just to get started.

Powerful privacy options

Administrators of Edublogs Campus can control access levels to every single blog, and decide if they want individual bloggers to be able to change their settings or not. For example, the vast majority of blogs can be private, but several can be kept open for parents, visitors or prospective students.

Security, redundancy and safety

Edublogs Campus is managed and maintained out of the best data centers and by the most experienced System Administrators and developers that work in the WordPress blogging space. We're fanatical about the safety, security and responsiveness of your installation.

Hosted at your own domain

Rather than having your blogs at meaningless domains like myblog.blogspot.com, Campus runs them all at your own domain - like Cornell Blogs or Global Teacher - both live Campus sites. We'll even purchase and configure a dedicated domain for you at no extra cost.

Track visitors and usage

With Campus you can easily track not only the visitors to all of your sites and blogs, but also the usage of the blogs by all of your users with custom reports on comments or posts made by particular users or on particular blogs and user activity with blog activity across your site.

Packed with stunning functionality

Not only do you have incredible site wide administrator capabilities in each Campus site but you also have MS Word style WYSIWYG editors, powerful media management and upload facilities and a genuine CMS for every user.

In fact, you'll find every single feature plus a great deal more custom functionality, that you'll find in standard WordPress software - and you can get a great feel for them by signing up for a free Edublog too.

Manage your online identity

Have you ever thought about the opportunity that blogging represents for your institution as a communication and branding tool with prospective students, parents, government and the media?

Edublogs Campus allows you utilize this possibility to the maximum, and also to make sure that your blogs are on message - and where issues arise you can edits, add, delete or correct within minutes..

Institutional blogging made easy, reliable and straightforward

There's noting particularly complex about Edublogs Campus - once you've logged in it's easy to create batches of blogs and users, manage themes and site-wide options and set up monitoring and get your colleagues and students blogging.

And it's even easier for users - with simple, intuitive, posting interfaces alongside MS Office style WYSIWYG text editors and self-explanatory options- you'll be surprised how quickly even the most technophobic of users pick up using a blog.

Custom branding and design

Every Edublogs Campus site comes with over 100 different themes that you and your users can use for their blogs. Every single one can be turned on or off by you as site administrator and Gold and Ultimate clients can have their own custom themes uploaded as required.

In addition to this clients can re-brand the entire site from the footer text to core images and emails - all to reflect your own branding text and images.

Podcast, vodcast, embed ready

It's simple for any campus user to upload or embed audio, videos or other embeddable multimedia - and it's just as simple for you as site administrator to control what files are allowed to be uploaded.

In fact, many existing Campus clients use their blogs as eportfolio platforms where students can post videos, photographs, audio and other digital work for review and assessment.

Import from other blogging sites » or export back to them.

Do you or your students and staff already have blogging sites up at places like Blogger, TypePad or LiveJournal?

It's not in the least bit difficult for you to import whole swathes of blogging goodness straight into your Edublogs blogs. There are simple step-by-step instructions and if you want to export back to them - we've got that covered as well.

And, of course, you can use this tool to simply backup and store individual content whenever you like in addition to our comprehensive RAID and backup policies.

Great support and community

At Edublogs we pride ourselves on our support, not only in terms of responding to your questions, but in pro-actively providing you with materials, videos, print-outs and other resources that will make your life easier as you introduce your colleagues and staff to the environment. Alongside that we've got lively forums and blogs that you're welcome to participate in.

Not just blogs...

Edublogs is built on WordPress technology and that means you get a lot more than just a blog. As well as being able to post, your users can also create static pages (great for eportfolios!) manage comments in incredible detail, set static front pages, password protect individual posts and create powerful multi-tiered and complex websites without ever needing to know one iota of html.

It's the pedagogy too

Because Edublogs is made by educators, for educators, we're thinking about teaching and learning all the time. We're here to provide resources, discussion and suggestions for how you can use Edublogs - thinking of eportfolios, collaborative classwork, online journaling, discussion or problem-based learning? So are we.

Unlimited bandwidth, storage, upgrades and support

Don't worry about hosting, IT support, software customization or bugs ever again.

Every Edublogs Campus account receives unlimited bandwidth and storage for educational purposes, in full RAID configuration, with constant backups both onsite and offsite and the very best bandwidth providers, based out of LA.

There's also no limit to the number of support emails or queries you ever want or need to make.
