Can anyone recommend a cheap/free platform that allows employees in several different locations to create discussions, post photos, possibly create polls, etc... I'm not sure if it's a forum I want... a social tool... or a SharePoint type infrastructure (but cheaper). The key is - it has to be easy to use. These employees cant create Google accounts and start using Google Drive. They're probably not smart enough to create a private group on Facebook. I need a collaborative environment that is private, slick and easy enough for a baby to use... for under $99/month. Online forums like this one are a bit archaic unless you spend time beefing them up. I prefer something that works right out of the box.
Creating the account, logging in, learning to navigate, remembering their passwords - these are all barriers that will lead to failure. People are dumb, what can I say?
I'm sorry but if they can't remember passwords to login then how are they going to create discussions, post photos, possibly create polls, etc?
Unfortunately I work with the same type of people. They get freaked out over using VPN. I call them the La Resistance.
