really like the way Ning is set up for many other things. Like others
have said, I think if you use Ning, and it is working for you (and your
teachers), then pay for it rather than finding an alternative that
doesn't work as well. (I am not advocating not looking at other tools,
but rather staying with tools that work well.)

Bram, from Google Apps for Education Frequently Asked Questions

4) How much is Google Apps for Education?
Google Apps for Education is free. We plan to keep the core offering of
Google Apps Education Edition free. This includes user accounts for
incoming students in the future. As you may know, Google was founded by
a research project at Stanford University, and this is just one way we
can give back to the educational community.

Like Ning, Google is also free and not open source. Not a rhetorical
question:
Has Google ever made a pledge never to charge schools for services,
should it one day have to start charging for things it gives free now?
