We have a couple of poll plugins installed which we were planning on using at some point. I think initially we want to keep the ning as streamlined as possible, as to not overwhelm newcomers, but eventually we can add more of this type of content.
When faculty laptops are recalled for the summer, maybe we should install kindle app and some of these papers on them. Most people won't read them, but a few might get curious.
Probably won't be recalling them this summer. But I like the articles! I'd like to get the Ning up and running and advertised before summer break. It would be great to have a place to get those that are interested reading, thinking, discussing the possibilities!
