Course Hero, Inc. Launches New Features for Flashcards
Redwood City, Calif. (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- Course Hero, Inc. today announced the addition of new features to its Flashcards product, a simple yet effective digital learning tool that allows users to browse through thousands of existing Flashcards sets or create and customize their own.
The latest Flashcards update enhances the overall user experience, introducing a sleeker interface, streamlined privacy controls and new ways for users to achieve their subject matter goals. With this new functionality, Flashcards users will have the ability to create private sets and control who has access to them, upload unlimited custom images, print Flashcards sets for a traditional study experience and engage in multiple, concurrent Optimal Learn sessions. Mobile users can also access their sets anywhere, at any time, via third party iOS and Android flashcard apps.
“At Course Hero, we’re constantly thinking about how we can empower our users to reach their potential,” said Andrew Grauer, CEO of Course Hero, Inc. “By expanding the features in Flashcards, we’re doing just that – further enhancing the digital experience so that students can learn more effectively, whether studying on their own or in an online classroom environment.”
The ability to create and study from public flashcard sets will remain free for all Course Hero users. Additionally, users will continue to have access to their current images and private sets. Students and teachers seeking a more robust experience, however, will be encouraged to purchase a Flashcards membership, with options beginning as low as $1.95 per month, or upgrade to Course Hero Premier. The new Flashcards features will be available to all Course Hero Premier members.
Course Hero has also increased Flashcards functionality for educators today, providing them with more teaching tools in the classroom. Flashcards sets and quiz results can now be turned in as assignments, and teachers can create groups and track student progress using statistics. Additionally, Course Hero has released an upgraded Edmodo Flashcards app, giving teachers the ability to use Flashcards in innovative ways in the online classroom.
