Hi everyone! Just writing some feedback on the future of our Homework Help Forum's spaces, informed by recent incidents and conversations.
What if we sunsetted playground, and instead made an Academic Playground space, for learning-for-fun questions only? Let's advertise it as a Summer Camp update, and retain it to ensure forum discussions are relevant to our mission.
Next, let's introduce two Homework Help Forum spaces. The existing one can be updated and rebranded as a Math and Science Help forum. Another one for the Humanities—history, English, language, essay help, etc. Since Academic Playground covers everything else, this should work for students.
For Indian learners, let's launch a CBSE Boards space, and an Entrance Exams space. These are just like our Homework Help Forum, but focused on the CBSE and Indian standardised tests specifically. To keep all of this working, we may also need to add an admin functionality of being able to move a post from one space to another.

Hi all! Updated thoughts on the Forum: What if we just give in and launch a new space entirely for advertising your sessions? That'll be a portal for learners to browse through, and see what sorts of sessions tutors can offer, and respond in the comments.
As for Homework spaces, I think the existing one is nice as it is. But what if we launched a new SAT questions forum too? SAT is quickly becoming a core subject area on SHW, so what if we go with the flow and launch an SAT questions space?

In this case, then, we'll just have one new space: SAT Questions. Homework space could remain for all homework questions, Playground for playground, etc.
