StudyDojo.com – A Smooth Way To Implement Study Groups

StudyDojo.comThis is a new website whose services are only available to students of the University of Texas, but I think covering it is interesting because there is no real reason why other Universities across the country should not create and use one such site. Generally speaking, those who use Study Dojo become automatically linked with the other students in their same course, and can proceed to interact with them by chatting and exchanging study materials.

The latter activity is actually facilitated by the creation of a study bank to which students contribute their own notes and materials.

In this way, students do get to know each other better and they form online bonds that will no doubt translate into stronger offscreen interactions, and a deeper sense of commitment.

Using the site is actually very simple, as there is actually no need to create an account – you login via Facebook Connect and then you are automatically matched with those in your same course who also happen to use Study Dojo.

As I said in the first paragraph, there is no real reason why other Universities shouldn’t go for something like this – implementing such a resource can’t be hard, and the results will more than make up for any eventual difficulty.

StudyDojo.com In Their Own Words

“Launched in June 2010, Study Dojo features a group chat system linked with a Study Bank to create a unique and fresh experience for UT students. Using Facebook Connect, users can log into Study Dojo simply by pressing the ‘Connect to Facebook’ button when they first enter the site. To find other students or study materials related to a course (ie… HIS 315L), users simply just enter the course name and number in the ‘Join a STUDY DOJO’ area.”
