Collaborative Teaching

I was recently introduced to Nicenet's ICA (Internet Classroom Assistant). This tool could be one of the most helpful tools for teaching groups of students. Using a virtual classroom where students do not have to attend another campus training but can work on lessons from home at their own pace is so much more convenient.

Nicenet's purpose is to allow "virtually any classroom, even those with modest resources, access to powerful tools. Everything in Nicenet is offered free for public use,"

Join my class, ARK's Classroom, by using 486C8NA87 and let me know what you think. What I'm wondering is what you see are the advantages/disadvantages to using it vs. just using a Wiki or Blog.
