Discussing concepts helps in better understanding of topics

Let's start with an anecdote; Jay who's a Math major at UCLA had uploaded a study guide provided by her professor in one of her classes to a study group in LearnTeachWorld. After uploading that study guide online, the members in the study group were invited to answer the same. The solutions coming from students around the world resulted in a refined form of learning. This created an opportunity for her and her classmates to perform better in their exams. When you engage in discussion in a study group on LearnTeachWorld's online platform, you will have a better understanding of any concepts or topics.

Clarify any questions

If you have a question related to any subject/topic, you ask it on LearnTeachWorld. The extensive groups of students and teachers around the world will answer them almost immediately. The method involved will be far from linear since you will get a diverse form of answers, something that you can use to find acceptable alternatives for the same question.

Motivates students to study

If you have ever played a game called Trivial Pursuit, you will know that a small number of people work together to answer a question that otherwise would not have been possible if worked on individually. Group studies and discussions are more stimulating as opposed to solitary learning. Studying alone can involve many distractions and can easily affect your focus.
