Hello everyone,

thanks to everyone for sending in suggestions for my query about private forums for a mixed institution group. Here are the suggestions I received:

Evernote www.evernote.com

 

Yammer https://www.yammer.com  and NHS version https://www.yammer.com/nhs.net/

“We use this as a library team and you can add documents, have discussions and are notified when new content is added. An administrator sets up the team so that it is private and confidential.”

A barrier for us is that our user group will have different emails as they come different trusts and HE.

 

Zoho https://www.zoho.com/

“They have a free package as well as paid options. You can certainly upload documents, and restrict who sees it etc. Not so sure about discussions…..”

 

NHS Networks https://www.networks.nhs.uk/

Why didn’t I know about this!? Intended as a sharing platform so not sure how private things can be but think this is worth investigating.

 

PBWork http://www.pbworks.com/

 

KnowledgeHub https://khub.net/home

“Supports the public sector and is free to access and use.” Private groups are chargeable


Regards,

   Cheryl.
