New Web site feature allows students to study together online - Stephanie Szuda, Northern Star
Students now have one more option to aid them in their studies, as pickaprof.com has added a new feature to its Web site called Study Buddy. Study Buddy allows students to communicate with each other outside the classroom about homework, tests or notes, said Karen Bragg, director of university relations at Pick-A-Prof. The new tool also provides a forum for group project collaboration or the opportunity for professors and teaching assistants to hold interactive review sessions. Study Buddy is one tool that differentiates them from other similar Web sites, Bragg said. No downloads are required to use the forums; the student logs on under the course they are enrolled in, Bragg said.
