NetFiles is a files storage application with collaboration and sharing features. To see what NetFiles is about, visit the University's About NetFiles page.
To get started on NetFiles, go to your Internet Account Options page. Select the last link on the page: "NetFiles Account Options."
Once you have activated your account, go to the NetFiles home page. You should now be able to log in with your U of M account info. In the left column under "Tools," select "Contacts and Groups." By setting up a group of users, you can easily share files with that group.
Need help? See Extension IT's Netfiles User Guide (.pdf).
Moodle is course management software that can also be used for group collaboration. See (and join!) the EFANS Emerging Issues group for an example. (Enrollment key = Welcome!)
Find out more about this tool on the University's About Moodle page.
Google Docs allows you to upload or create new files, share files with others, and engage in real-time collaborative editing. Available file types: document, presentation, spreadsheet and form.

Main Extension is beginning the process of redesigning the public website. We encourage you to give your feedback through the web discussion blog.
The Extension web redesign vision: "The redesigned Extension website will provide the public with a single source for current Extension information. Users should not need to understand University or Extension structure in order to find content they want. It will be consistent in look, feel and functionality and ensure compliance with University and Extension branding, navigation and accessibility requirements. The level of effort required to put content online will be reduced through integration, automation, templates, design standards and decentralized maintenance, allowing content owners to focus on education instead of technology, and benefit from higher visibility on the Extension site."
