I haven't been completely happy with elgg so I'll "revisit" Ning as well. Also thinking about DrupalEd as an alternative. I use Drupal for another site and I'm pretty comfortable with it. Thanks again for the tip and I hope all is well in Victoria. Cheers, Tom --- Hi Suzanne,

Many points to consider when I am creating my next WebQuest, although it seems a natural progression for me, to upgrade the tasks to include Web 2.0 publishing. It reminds me of similar changes I am making to my delivery of the Intel course, to encourage Web 2.0 applications, rather than simply Microsoft Office. By the way, I wonder if you might consider Ning communities as an alternative to Elgg in your model. Its similarities to a MySpace format is what appealed to me in its potential for classroom application, and it is even better now an ad free version for education has been negotiated.
