Within e-Commons members can create individual websites, called workrooms, for collaboration on important environmental health topics and issues.  Consider a blog to be a kind of workroom. Workrooms can contain text and documents, images, links to blogs and other websites, videos, and slideshows. Examples of possible workrooms include state nursing associations’ environmental health task forces and nurses interested in specific environmental contaminants.
Workrooms can be public or private. In public workrooms anyone can view the content of the workroom though only members of the workroom can add posts (though members of e-Commons can add comments without being members of the workroom). In private workrooms, only members of that workroom can see what is contained in the workroom or add posts. The public and private aspects of workrooms can be fluid depending on the activities of the members. For example, a workroom may be private while content is in draft form and then made public in the final version.
Workrooms each have their own URL or may be entered from the e-Commons site. All of the public content in workrooms is searchable through e-Commons.
