Elevator Asset Browser

The Elevator WordPress Plugin connects with instances of the open source Elevator Application to provide easy embedding of Elevator assets within WordPress sites. Assets remain hosted within Elevator, so no additional storage is necessary on the WordPress host.

For more information on Elevator, visit http://www.elevatorapp.net.

Elevator and the Elevator Asset Browser were developed by the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota.
