Creating Online Classes

I have been experiencing and exploring making online classes using ning, facebook and PBWorks. I am not amazed by what you can do but by how quickly and easily it can be done. These are great online spaces for use in a classroom, specifically ning and PBWorks. I am not a fan of using facebook because you can only have one account (legally) and I do not want my account connected with a class page. If you are looking to take your class online, do not use a simple html webpage. It lacks the collaboration needed. Save time, money, etc and use ning (social networking) or PBWorks (wiki). You won't be disappointed.
