AI Thread Summary
Subforums could benefit from dedicated tutorial sticky threads, enhancing accessibility for users seeking specific educational resources. The Science Education Zone now hosts tutorials to improve visibility for students needing homework assistance. This approach allows for unlimited growth of tutorial content while maintaining easy navigation. Additionally, it helps keep forums uncluttered by reducing the number of sticky threads. Currently, physics tutorials are organized into subforums, but there are not enough tutorials in every subject to categorize them yet.

Hey, I was just thinking that each of the subforums could have their own tutorial sticky thread. For example the 'calculus & analysis' fourms will have a 'calculus & analysus tutorials' thread etc. It would be really convenient.

In case you haven't seen it yet, we now have tutorials in the Science Education Zone. https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=151 We put them there so they'd be more visible to the students visiting for homework questions, who we expect are most in need of tutorials. This moved them out of sticky threads, which had two benefits in our view: 1) unlimited growth while still retaining ease of finding the relevant topic, 2) Greg has been able to go out and find lecturers willing to make portions of their course material available as tutorials to add to the resources available to our members and visitors. Moving them out of sticky threads also helps keep the other forums uncluttered (we realized if there are too many stickies, nobody reads the most important ones).

We don't have enough tutorials yet in every subject to split them up into categories yet, but we already have organized the physics tutorials into their own subforums.
