OpenStudy is a social learning network where students can ask and answer questions, help each other, and connect with other students studying the same things.

Using OpenStudy,  students can get just-in-time, when-you-need-it help. The OpenStudy network is always there, always on. Learners can enhance their own skills and knowledge by helping others and feel good about aiding someone in need.

Teachers can engage students, connecting with kids on their own terms. Strengthen communication skills and facilitate peer learning by creating study groups to help your students learn better. See which students need help, spot signs of trouble earlier.
