The document discusses setting up a social networking site called "CAE Gymmies" on Ning.com for fitness instructors and students to share ideas, posts blogs, videos, and links. It would allow certificate III and IV students to form study groups and stay connected outside the classroom. Qualified gym instructors and personal trainers could also use it. Initial in-person training would teach students how to use Ning and post comments, with additional online sessions if needed. Trainers would oversee the site and ensure students are competent in signing up and posting.

3. I feel that these learning strategies will compliment most learners/users, e.g.: Reflective (prefer working alone) Active (kinaesthetic) Visual learners Auditory (uploading of videos)

4. Collaboration is definitely possible. The ning site would be created initially for Certificate III & IV students to use as a means for forming study groups etc, and keeping in contact outside of the classroom. Moving forward, qualified gym instructors and personal trainers to utilise as a vehicle for sharing ideas (e.g. new exercises), posting blogs, uploading useful web links or videos etc.
