Question

Suggestion: separate openstudy into highschool openstudy, and college openstudy. This would attract more college kids and graduate students.
So when you go to the landing page, you click on either 'college openstudy' or 'high school openstudy' http://prntscr.com/6wisri

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 8

True, so is this going to be a separate section altogether?

Answer 9

right

Answer 10

you can click on both if you like, have them open in separate tabs

Answer 11

I see :)

Answer 12

but you have the option of only sitting in 'college openstudy'

Answer 13

but this could create a problem, if students in high school math post in college openstudy ...

Answer 14

it could cause some conflict , defining what is high school math and college math

Answer 15

This is great because some users only focus on high school help and I feel a little uncomfortable when I stumble into a post that I can't help with, and the user think I just leave because I don't want to help.

Answer 16

right

Answer 17

This is not easy to implement though. i guess a workaround has been creating new topics, like calculus, linear algebra.

Answer 18

but this idea has got potential.

Answer 19

You think having separate websites is the best way to go?
but there should be a redirect from the landing page.

Answer 20

This entails that you would have separate websites. But it could be either a whole new website or an extension of openstudy.
example:
openstudy.com/study/college
vs.
collegeopenstudy/com

Answer 21

We have sections such as calculus and such for a reason. This idea seems a bit condescending to me.

Answer 22

Well, first impressions mean a lot. My first impression was the OpenStudy homepage, and I wasn't sure if they had a Photography question. When I first browsed the site as a guest, I had no idea what sub-topics were, and therefore I didn't know if this site could help with certain topics.

Answer 23

Why not can click on calculus from the landing page?

Answer 24

Like a drop-down menu? :)

Answer 26

Answer 27

Sorry perl, I don't really see a point to it, you can just click continue and come to OS and do all that. But, keep coming up with ideas, you're very good at them!

Answer 28

i can add other topics

Answer 29

the magic of prntscr, one moment

Answer 30

That seems like a GREAT idea!!

Answer 32

Good job perl i like it :)

Answer 33

The use of OpenStudy by high schol students was originally not even going to be allowed. They changed the plan to allow for intermixed because they wanted college students to be able to tutor high school students. I am not sure if this is going to change.

What would have been nic is a lot more sub topics and less main topics. Then the advanced topics could have sub topics to make it more clear where to post.

Answer 34

yes, the navigation of topics could be improved .
