Online education is taking on the pace and making specialized knowledge accessible to all. Udemy, Coursera, Skillshare, and many other platforms are sharing skill-building knowledge that prepares students to be ready for life after traditional education.
That’s great but a significant and equally important hole remains to be addressed – the mastery of the academic curriculum of schools and colleges. Students often find themselves seeking an easy explanation of complex topics in various subjects but to no avail.
Thanks to Course Hero, you now have access to a resource library and tutors at any time to simplify the concepts and facilitate understanding (instead of memorization). It is paid but also offers some ways to use it for free. Let us at Insiderbits show you how.
What is Course Hero
Course Hero prepares you to be confident in your academic education from the first day to graduation. How? By providing you access to over 30 million subject-specific study resources and connecting you with thousands of tutors ready to explain concepts at a moment’s notice.
Its resources are contributed by students and educators all over the world which consists of practice problems, study guides, class notes, and textbook solutions covering almost all subjects. Economics, literature, biology, history, psychology, and accounting are just to name a few.
The purpose of Course Hero is to complement what you are learning in the classroom and help you gain a deeper understanding of important but complex concepts. You can also use it for completing your homework and assignments and preparing for exams.
How it works
If you have a study document and find it hard to understand, upload it to Course Hero. It will enrich your document with answers, explanations, and other recommended resources in just a few minutes. You can also ask it a question directly if you are stuck on it.
