I'd built the link to Ning directly into the TLT Group website by creating a space for 'distributed conversations & sharing'. Make a roundtable graphic a clickable icon for logging into Ning. It's good place for the library of videos that comprise the TLT Group 'archive'. I'd still put things on YouTube - the world sees those without membership barriers. But not everything you might want to share in video or images is appropriate for YouTube anyway.
While we're at it I'd do the same thing for a repository of slide presentations using something like Slideshare or whatever similar tool strikes your fancy.
It wouldn't be too hard to test the idea by putting some nice contextualized 'departure points' into the TLT Group web site and connections to Ning and Slideshare (or whatever) then ask a few intrepid dearly adopter types among the TLT Group family to try using it, moving among them and get their feedback. If it's distracting and cumbersome -- enough said. Just pull it. If not, well... ???
