OpenStudy: Online Study Groups

Have you ever had difficulty organizing a study group for class?  With varying schedules it can be challenging to get a group of people together.  This is where OpenStudy comes in.  The site was developed to help students find other people to study with and provide content and activities to aid in the learning process.


The site was launched in 2009 and now has over 100,000 students from 170 countries and 1,600 schools.  Topics covered include Math, Chemistry, History and others.  A couple of years ago they teamed up with MIT's OpenCourseware project to take advantage of all their open content.


If you would like find out more information you can check out their website at http://openstudy.com, take a look at their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter.  Resources like these can make a big difference when taking college classes.  Sometimes I think about going back to school, in part, to take advantage of all the great resources that are out there for students.
