Course Hero is an inquiry-based learning network that attracts thousands of college students, educators and self-learners every day to publish, share and collaborate on academic resources online. Our network is based on an inquiry-based learning approach whereby a student submits an inquiry (e.g., Why is the sky blue? What are different explanations of the chain rule for Basic Calculus, etc.), and Course Hero provides a highly organized result of documents (the "Course Hero Response") contributed by students & educators.

Accelerating and maximizing educational breakthroughs ("Ah-Ha" moments) of students from inquiry to Course Hero Responses via an open, best-of-breed content sharing model.

1. Provide a platform optimized for the aggregation, organization and distribution of educational content in order to deliver the right content to each student at the right time ("inquiry-based interaction");
2. Build study tools around educational content that enables students to study smarter;
3. Develop analytics tools around educational content that allow educators to understand how students interact with and learn from different content; and
4. Innovate social features built around educational content that connect students, educators and self-learners.
