Posted on: Tuesday, 3 March 2009, 09:32 CST

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- PBwiki Inc., the world's largest provider of business and educational hosted wikis, today announced the launch of PBwiki Campus Edition, a new academic product that makes PBwiki's hosted collaboration suite affordable for schools with up to 1,000 students, faculty, and staff.

With PBwiki Campus Edition, a school can roll out an unlimited number of PBwikis for its classes, clubs, and other student activities. Previously, schools had to purchase wikis individually. Campus Edition includes PBwiki's market-leading ease-of-use and customer service, making it an ideal choice to introduce students, teachers, parents, and guardians to the benefits of hosted collaboration.

Educators have used PBwiki for everything from classroom collaboration and publicly-accessible student projects to open-source textbooks. "PBwiki has far exceeded our expectations," said Sharon Grimes of Baltimore County Public Schools. "We are using the wikis to not only enhance instruction for students, but also provide high quality professional development for our staff. Teachers are excited by both the content and the opportunity the wiki provides to learn in a 24/7 environment."

"We're delighted that we can offer PBwiki's hosted collaboration suite to teachers and students everywhere," said Jim Groff, CEO. "While we certainly enjoy providing a good service to Fortune 500 companies and leading law firms, it feels good to help those who are working hard to educate our children."
