Thread:Project:Support desk/What is Education Program Extension usage?/reply

From the page:
 * Facilitates educational programs by adding various interfaces to manage courses, students, institutions, mentors, etc, as well as improving workflow for everyone involved (enrollment, seeing changes of other students, article and reviewer association) and providing several analysis/statistics interfaces.

So, it sounds like you can manage students, courses, etc. for some sort of wiki-centric educational program. I imagine you know that already, though, so what more do you want to know?
