- A tool that allows someone to create a social networking type of site
- It works well for collaboration but as a learning platform it seems to come up short
- Members are invited via email to the network, they can collaborate with one another in order to learn
- No method for assessment built into it, carries a high cost
- Allows for a variety of multimedia to be posted by members of the group
- Has a chat feature that can help students and instructors communicate
- Does not offer any specific area to turn in assignments
- A great site for collaboration, not adequate for a fully functional learning platform
