Here are the answers to some questions you may have about OpenStudy closing.

What’s happening?

OpenStudy will be closing, effective January 31st, 2017.



Why is OpenStudy closing?

The OpenStudy and Brainly teams explored many different possibilities for maintaining both sites while upholding the quality standards we believe in. We came to the tough conclusion that we would not be able to innovate on both sites as separate entities with the amount of resources we have.


Both OpenStudy and Brainly believe in creating the world’s largest student-powered social learning community - one that we want all students worldwide, including all of you, to benefit from. We will now focus the future on building a combined community on Brainly.


Where will I go to get homework help now?

We encourage you to give Brainly a try! Like OpenStudy, Brainly allows you to collaborate with other students to answer homework questions. It has some unique features as well, including a competitive system of ranks, and fun activities like Challenges. There are also iOS and Android apps so that you can use Brainly whenever you want.


You can sign up for an account here: http://finest.brainly.com/openstudy/

To acknowledge your contribution on OpenStudy, if you sign up to Brainly before January 31st using the link above, you’ll earn 500 extra points on Brainly. This is a lot more than a normal account, and your account will therefore start at a higher rank.

We understand that you may have reservations about joining a site with slightly different features than OpenStudy. But, Brainly is YOUR community -- built for students, and by students. Through your questions, answers, and feedback, Brainly will continue to be shaped by you and your ideas. We’ve already added a College level to Brainly based on feedback from OpenStudy users, and we’ll be looking to you for other suggestions about improvements and new features we can add in the future.


What will I bring to Brainly’s community?

We’ve seen the extremely high quality of help OpenStudiers have given to each other across the years. You have helped teach each other and created a wonderful and safe learning space. We want you to bring that mentality to Brainly. We want you to help other students learn, and at the same time, teach other Brainly community members what makes up a great answer. We will be exploring the unique way OpenStudiers help teach other, and will build that into upcoming new features.


What will happen to my OS account?

You won’t be able to access your OpenStudy account after January 31st, 2017. But, anytime before that date, you can download a certificate with elements of your profile data, including a record of your SmartScore and any special tags or statuses, as a remembrance of your time on OpenStudy. Download the certificate by clicking on the “Get Certificate” button on your profile page.

What if I’m an OpenStudy Qualified Helper, Ambassador, or Moderator?

First, we want to thank you for all of your help over the years in keeping OpenStudy a safe, welcoming, and quality place for students of all ages to learn!


You may be able to use your experience on OpenStudy toward a recommendation or school credit. Please contact 5ever by January 15, 2017 for more information about this.

If you’re interested in being a part of the Brainly Moderation Team, please let 5ever know!



But I love OpenStudy! :(

We know that losing an amazing place like OpenStudy is upsetting, and we’re sincerely sorry for the disappointment this decision may cause.

We want to help you and OpenStudy’s founder to celebrate the many years of learning, teaching, and friendship on OpenStudy. So, we’ll be having two special events prior to the site’s closing.

-OpenStudy Celebration. Until January 31st, we encourage you to post your favorite thing about OpenStudy, the most helpful thing you’ve learned here, or another positive memory in OpenStudy Feedback. A few of your responses will be selected to be shared with the wider community!

-Farewell Party. On Tuesday, January 31st, we’ll be having an online party from 4pm to 8pm EST to celebrate OpenStudy. We hope you’ll visit, chat, question, answer, and give medals to all of your OS friends!


What if I have a different question?

You can email us anytime at contact@openstudy.com with any other questions or concerns.
