Study Groups is a Facebook app. It's a social project management tool aimed at students to help them to easily collaborate online and in person. It lets them:
* Easily log in and set up a group using their existing Facebook ID
* Discuss assignments in a discussion board
* Share files and notes
* Assign tasks and responsibilities
* Schedule meetings
* Stay up-to-date on the latest group activity
Great find! I set-up a study group for my Winter online students to go along with their Blackboard orientation. Thanks.

Thank you for this Jane - it looks quite exciting. I have been a long term LMS (eg Moodle)user/developer but have always felt that plug and learn applications such as Moonedit, Flashmeeting etc would provide much broader and more flexible options. This Facebook tool takes things to a new level, so I am going to try it out as a collaborative writing tool with a couple of colleagues.
