Create websites:
KNIT allows any campus member to create an indefinite amount of customizable WordPress websites. For example, you might build a website to:
- Develop your professional or academic online presence
- Create online resources for the public or for student, research, or other communities
- Showcase research and activities of a campus group or lab
- Facilitate collaborative, digital, and/or public-facing research or pedagogy
- Host classroom discussion in a customizable, networked, media-rich environment
- Experiment with digital publishing tools
- Publish academic or student journals

Host a group:
Creating a group on KNIT is a great way to facilitate communication for distributed, campus-based groups such as research groups, courses, committees, or special interest groups. KNIT groups have the following features:
- Online group forum where members can post and reply to topics
- Email notifications of group activity; user can choose how often to receive notifications
- “Reply By Email” functionality for easy communication with the group
- Groups can be public, private, or hidden
- Groups can be associated with a KNIT website (so as to notify group members of new website content or to allow group members to post to the website)
