Designed for the unique educational needs of institutions, schools and organizations, joule social invigorates the teaching and learning experience by providing a informal environment in which educators and students have the ability to build their own social communities for courses, clubs or other interests and connect with classmates, friends and educators. With a flexible interface that mimics popular social networking sites, users have access to the latest in Web 2.0 features and collaborative tools that provide a unique opportunity to share ideas, ask questions and express knowledge of course material, projects, assignments, general interests or campus life.
