Chegg.com wants to become a one-stop shop for college students. Moving beyond textbook rentals, today Chegg announced it will start offering more services to help college students succeed in school. New tools on Chegg website will make it easier for students to select the right classes, all while helping students save time, money and get smarter.
Basically they will be redesigning the site to incorporate the services of its recent purchase of CourseRank. This will provide Chegg users with class and professor ratings, class grade distribution, and class schedule and planner.
Chegg is an advocate for college students and is committed to helping them navigate through the challenges of college, said Dan Rosensweig, CEO of Chegg. With technology changing the education landscape, Chegg is excited to be at the forefront of that evolution by providing students with more services that help them do better in school.
The new site will feature:
- Easy, one-click textbook rental or purchase.
- Access to course/scheduling data for over 600 schools (1,000 in Fall 2011). Homework Help:
- Textbook solutions for 500 textbooks.
- An open Question & Answer system that enables users to give or receive homework help on any question.
