Course Hero provides an online learning platform designed to offer a digital library to help students and educators succeed. The company's online learning platform helps to share course-specific knowledge, crowdsourced notes and educational resources to learn and study; the platform allows users to upload materials for free access, enabling students, educators and self-learners to get collaborative learning, both inside and outside the classroom and access educational resources daily.
