A New Hub to Learn At


With millions of people taking part in the online social networking phenomenon the Internet is constantly evolving to meet the needs and desires of its community of members.
LearnHub (learnhub.com) is one of many online social utilities aiming to take advantage of the unprecedented boom in social website subscribership. However, they have a unique goal - they want you to learn something while you're there. "Social learning network" is the term that this website uses to describe itself best.
As a site where teachers and students come together and in some cases exchange roles, LearnHub's purpose is to share information and ideas about specific subjects. With a membership of 20,000 and growing, it is quickly becoming a hot resource for people seeking information.
Teachers can find instructional material to aid them in explaining concepts to their classes and students can find help preparing for tests among many other things. There is no charge associated with the services that the site provides and many users and contributors are willing and able to offer help to those who need and ask for it.
Also, any member can create a community, post a lesson or create a test, and with the diversity of LearnHub's users you tend come across information you never thought to look for. The site is just as engaging as it is entertaining.
LearnHub was created by Savvica Inc, a Toronto-based company, in collaboration with Educomp Solutions, India's largest online education company.
