As co-founder and CEO of Course Hero, a top provider of online study resources that supplement college courses and help students learn more effectively, I am passionate about students. Having recently been one myself, I'm a firm believer in the power of technology to transform education for the better. Course Hero was born from a simple yet powerful observation that students and teachers create an incredible amount of interesting and valuable knowledge in the form of lectures, notes, study guides, outlines, research, analysis, exams, assignments, syllabi, labs, and much more that they never end up sharing beyond the four walls of their classrooms. At Course Hero, we're working to create a collaborative environment between students and teachers regardless of where and when they are learning or teaching. With gamification elements peppered throughout CourseHero.com, those who upload academic documents can share such achievements on various social media channels, encouraging friends and followers to do the same.
