Grouply is originally not intended as a typical learning-platform but is as they say "pioneering the “social group” — a new type of online community that combines the best features of social networks and online groups. Social groups offer the social interactivity, media sharing, and modern design of social networking sites like Facebook; and the rich discussions, popular email interface, and people-discovery opportunities found in traditional online group systems like Yahoo! Groups. With Grouply, you can create a new social group about anything you like."
By this combination of social-networks and online-groups, Grouply offers all the features needed to use it as a learning-platform:
- restricted access, with individual logins and a right-system to manage groups and their access to resources and tools
- resource-sharing (Fotos, Video, Music, Files, etc.)
- communication tools: Forum , Chat , blog
- customizable: branding, including logo and color scheme
- embed code: for directly including external virtual-learning-tools
At the moment [Aug. 2011] Grouply is for free and doesn't contain advertising.
