ePals, a developer of learning collaboration products, has launched Ask ePals, a Web service designed to answer questions about education. The company collaborated with Yedda.com, a question and answer search platform, to provide the education question-based Web site.

The company designed the site for education collaboration. According to ePals, educators, students and parents can use the website to locate resources, content, and professional development tips and ask for advice on the widget service.

The website uses semantic matching technology developed by Yedda.com.
