GroupieGuide – Create a free group website to organize and promote your group. via kwout

GroupieGuide is a great way for anyone to create their own website for groups they are involved with. You do not need any prior programming or design skills to create a sharp group page.  Group pages include news, upcoming events, pictures and discussion posts.
Setting up is very straightforward. If you created the group you will have standard user privileges that allow you to post and answer discussion posts and leave comments and then an administrator account that allows you to add news, upcoming events and pictures. You can also change the look of the group site, send out invitations and set privacy levels. Setting privacy levels means that you need to have a password in order to see the group site.
Setting up a fully functional group page only takes 15 – 30 minutes with no prior knowledge of the web application. Groupie Guide can help you make a quick webpage for your groups that look very professional and can be done without spending a cent! Some examples that you could use this for may be social clubs, such as a book club or sports teams.
As an instructor Groupie Guide would work very well for helping guide and document group activities and research projects. Students could designate a leader and use the site to keep track of meetings, events pictures of their research topic! This could be used to help instructors see activity of group projects.
