Course Hero overview

What is Course Hero?

Course Hero is a cloud-based learning management platform, which enables students and educators to connect and access a variety of study materials such as guides, class notes, or videos for different subjects.

The platform allows teachers to utilize lecture slides, assessments, syllabi, and various other documents to create and design courses. Using Course Hero’s library, educators can search for content by subject or course type and access infographics or literature guides. Instructors can upload copyrighted material tagged to the course containing descriptive titles and information.

Users can add enrolled courses to the study dashboard and archive them to view current courses. Students can use Android and iOS mobile applications to save materials, receive alerts for newly uploaded documents based on previous searches, and access them in an offline mode. Course Hero also verifies mentors and lets them monitor learning materials, claim courses, and join a teacher network.
