I would rate it a 9. As a student, I understand how important it is to ask questions and get answers to understand subjects that I am struggling on. Brainly proves to be a terrific resource where I can find help on concepts in many different areas. I wouldn't rate it a 10 as there can be some improvements. The whole "game" systematic where you gain points and give "brainliests" can be more emphasized in my opinion. I also think (although it is not the site's fault one bit) that there can be someway to stop spam answers, maybe like a pre-post answering check bot.
Bill Hughes found Brainly:
- Moderately builds student knowledge“I myself have learned many things on Brainly, especially in mathematics like Integrals and Applications of Derivatives. I also believe that the answering team does a terrific job trying to explain concepts and making others gain knowledge on the specific subject.”
- Significantly increases student collaboration“The site is used by students to gain help and some students take part by helping answer these students' answers. I would coin this "student collaboration" as we students are helping other students understand concepts and schoolwork.”
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“I don't really have any examples of impact on teacher workload. Teachers' workload depends on what subject they are teaching and how they teach it. Brainly is a supplement where students ask questions if they do not understand. I do not think Brainly impacts teacher workload much if at all.”
