Dunno (by spacestation6 Inc)
The power of the Internet has made it much easy to research away from the college library (not to mention the great volume of information available instantly). Dunno takes research to a different level by looking up and compiling all possible resources available about a topic online. So there are sections for web pages, blogs, Wikipedia, images, news, even tweets.
This collaborative tool allows students to do group projects with ease. Students can systematically organise projects and delegate work while others can add inputs and comments. It also lets students interact with their classmates and keep track of what each person is doing.* Free: Android, iOS
