Ive been looking to start a new website for students and academics.
A place where they can discuss subjects, ask and answer questions etc.

Thought it would be a nice idea for students to help students .When i was at university, the lecturers werent much use (of course this is a generalisation!). i learned just as much from my colleagues as it did from the institution itself.

any ideas of what you might like to see on such a website would be most welcoming!!!!









...people think im weird, im not! i just have the heart of a small boy. It sits in a glass jar on my desk

Firstly there should be discussion forums where student could ask questions on related problems. Secondly some links to educational resources. Find some free resources on related topics and add them to your site. Plus you can add different articles on related fields that would help other students. Add some link to free or least expensive courses on subjects. Think what problems the students normally face and try to provide possible solutions. Add tutorials on how to solve problems etc. Though a lot can be done on a site like this.
It's a great idea and students do need a site like this. I wish you best of luck with your site if you need any assistance or any more ideas feel free to ask. I will be delighted to help you out.

thats excellant!
ill keep you posted on how it goes, still on localhost but much of what you have said is there!!!!

That seems like a good ting for students and academics. It could be a good place for discussions and some related thing for academics. The website could be a good help for everyone here.
