More sophisticated than a wiki, the uses of a Ning (great name)allow for more group interaction as an online learning community. It capabilities include blogs, forums, chat room, and video uploads. Friends are invited to your site and you have more control making it a little more exclusive. It also has a multiple selection of communication tools and a vast variety of sharing and collaborating space and means of interaction. If allowed to be used in a school this should be pass word protected, as there maybe 3rd party information on the site.
The functions on Ning provide opportunities for group analysis, debating and allowing ever one to be heard which is recorded and stored.
