Comments from those who selected Yahoo Groups as
one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
- "My favourite way to communicate with the groups
and communities I belong to."
Cristina Mendes
Da Costa
- "I don’t understand why more courses
aren’t hosted on sites like this. Online groups offer free,
robust do-it-yourself websites that provide e-mail-based
message boards, file and photo storage, polling (aka
quizzing), and simple database features."

- "Free,
robust do-it-yourself websites that provide e-mail-based
message boards, file and photo storage, polling (aka

repurposed for hosting an e-learning course or
replicating an LMS to host a whole catalog. (See

website for
examples.)"

- "Well,
if it weren't for the wonderful members of the Learning
with computers community I wouldn't have learned so
much."
