In this GTP technology workshop, Juliette Bourdier (PhD Candidate), will discuss the online tool Ning and how it can be used to create interactive course sites. Ning is a free, user-friendly, web-based platform that can function as a course management system or as a private area to communicate with the students. Ning comes with a number of built-in features such as a blog, a discussion forum and a chat tool. You can further customize Ning using the many free apps developed by third parties (video chat and video conferencing for example).
