Have been searching for an online environment for my VLE. I didn't want to use a wiki because I wanted to explore other options but I wanted to be able to add widgets like video and learning objects. I wanted it be be free. I wanted to be able to manage the privacy level.
Ning would have been great but I looked at some alternatives.
I was unable to add widgets to google groups.
I checked out a number of others but I have decided on Grouply as it satisfies the "wants" I mentioned and a short video showed how easy it is to develop and add apps which sold me.
However, it seems in 2008 there were issues about the security of Grouply so I have not linked to my yahoo ID which seems to create the problem.
So far I have been able to add an online quizz and a voicethread. I have a discussion area, whiteboard, rss capabilities and the capacity to add new pages.
So far so good.
