Question

There should be some way to motivate people to come into rarely visited groups like chem , phy etc .
People do you have any ideas so we can propose them to @Preetha

Answer 1

It's just an idea from my side i don't know if it would completely work.

Answer 2

I think SmartScore and kindness is a good motivator to many...

Answer 3

But still people don't its clearly visible

Answer 4

I think Ambassadors or Moderators should be assigned to a subject they are good at, but have one Ambassador or Moderator in EACH subject so help is ALWAYS there

Answer 5

Every moderator here is excellent at math only but yeah its a good idea

Answer 6

Or you could even do it to where to raise more SmartScore you have to help in all subjects just a little

Answer 7

I wrote that in your post

Answer 8

Good idea. We'll work on some strategies.

Answer 9

Thank you @Preetha

Answer 10

@puahina That would be nice, but you can't force anyone to always help. It's more of a volunteering type site.

Answer 11

I would like to help i said that but once i complete my studies i would sit in these subjects for hours to help!

Answer 12

How about different smartscores for different study groups?

In math, I'd have a very low score and in biology, chemistry and OS feedback I'd be on top of the list.
That way the list is more accurate. I'm always being tagged in history questions because I'm on top of the list, even though I'm the worst at history.

Or, do them both. My global score (99) and my history score (perhaps 20). The green (in my case purple) 99 would have a red border or something (just brainstorming). Red as in ss20 has a red/orange color.

Answer 13

Ooh that's a good idea, nice thomaster, that would totally motivate me to answer questions in other sections as biology which I wouldn't normally go in, so in a way it would have me studying more as well :)! Very interesting.

Answer 14

Yes, I do agree that other subjects need a boost of contributors (& questioners) as well. This is needless to mention that contributions in those other fields should not go unrecognized.

Answer 15

Group development, especially in the less popular subjects, is another thing OpenStudy definitely needs to work on.

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

@thomaster That's how the old days were, my friend. The sweet old days.

Answer 18

@ParthKohli Yea there are some things from the old days that they shouldn't have removed. Like this, and the achievement system.

Answer 19

The system *does* give attention to the subject-wise performance. So yes, it should be possible.

Answer 20

yes as the cliche goes "Old is Gold" haha
