Blackboard Integrates Chegg Learning Services
Blackboard has partnered with Chegg to integrate the latter's self-directed learning services with its teaching and learning environment.
Chegg Study, Chegg Tutor and Chegg Career Center are designed to help students understand their homework and prepare for exams and will now be accessible to both students and faculty directly through the Blackboard environment.
"Blackboard and Chegg share a commitment to improving student outcomes through high-quality and affordable learning services designed to improve academic and career outcomes," said Nathan Schultz, Chegg's chief learning officer, in a prepared statement. "Together, we believe we can deliver powerful learning services to the millions of learners and teachers that Blackboard supports through their innovative learning solutions."
"Together, we are working towards a goal shared by students, institutions, faculty, Blackboard and Chegg: better outcomes and higher graduation rates," said Jim Hermens, vice president of content partnerships at Blackboard, in a prepared statement. "By providing schools with the opportunity to integrate Chegg Study's supplemental learning services into our learning environment, students will be in a better position to master their coursework, persist in their schooling, and ultimately be able to graduate at higher rates than they do today."
