Wiggio is a free learning solution that allows people, mainly students, to easily set up group areas for study, socializing, or community involvement. A simple process sets up the site in a few minutes. All you have to do is invite people to join, and you are ready to chat, share calendar and documents, conduct polls and even set up a phone conference.
From the website:
Wiggio was created in January 2008 by two Cornell graduates looking for a better way to manage the responsibilities of working in groups. The project secured funding in August of 2008 and was officially released to the public as of September 15, 2008. Our mission is to continuously develop an application that eliminates the frustration of working in groups by providing the powerful, straightforward functionality that you need to work effectively.
I have set up groups for my office area, family, and church group.
Wiggio uses Scribd for displaying documents, and Zoho Writer to edit. Versioning can be enabled to keep track of any changes made to documents.
Many other tools are out there, so it will be interesting to see if Wiggio can stand the test of time.
