Applications for Education
Youfig has a couple of nice feature for educators in addition to typical wiki features. Wikis are great tools for having students work collaboratively on research or presentation assignments. Youfig has an advantage over some other wiki services because the administrator of each work space can create work groups to complete a task. This feature makes it easier for teachers to monitor the progress of their students as they work toward completing an assignment together.
