What do you get when you combine Facebook type networking and College academics? You get Coursehero.com. Coursehero is a website that was built for students by students as a means to communicate with each other and with professors to increase a students understanding in a subject and to excell.
For example, as a student in a college math course, if you find that you need can't figure out a math homework solution, you can go to the site and pull of answers other students have given instead of waiting for the teacher to review it in the classroom. You can also get a professor to explain it and have other students explain how they came their answer. Coursehero.com is also aligned with severat textbooks so you can work with actual examples and solutions that are taught in your textbook. It is also valuable should you miss a class you can go online and ask fellow students for Math Lecture notes that you didn't get in class.
Homeschoolers can also find this site useful as many homeschooled high school students work at the college level. Even if they are not taking an actual class, the ability to communicate regularly with college students to ask questions, and get answers, and even give answers in an online study group is incredibly valuable. This is definately on my list of websites to introduce to my kids as they get closer to college.
