Chegg, Inc. (NYSE: CHGG), the leading student-first connected
learning platform, today announced the launch of the Center for
Digital Learning, which aims to support educators and drive
excellence across online, in-person, and hybrid learning
modalities.
The Center will provide educators with relevant content, tools,
and resources to help them navigate the intersection of technology
and higher education, including best practices for engaging
students in online learning environments, strategies for effective
assessments, and professional development resources for educators.
It also will commission original research designed to deepen the
education community’s understanding of the opportunities,
challenges, and impact of digital tools and online support
services.
“The higher education landscape is transforming, driven by the
evolving needs of the modern student and advances in technology and
innovations. Together, these are opening exciting new avenues to
serve students and advance learning,” said Candace Sue, Head of
Academic Relations at Chegg. “But in order to meet this moment, the
academic and edtech communities must work together to share
knowledge and ideas in support of students. Through the Center, we
hope to make a meaningful contribution to the future of lifelong
learning both inside and outside the classroom.”
Chegg’s Academic Advisory Board, a group of senior academic
leaders, will support the Center’s work by providing critical
perspectives on how universities and Chegg can partner to serve
today’s students. The board recently welcomed its first student
advisor, Ranen Miao, a student leader at Washington University.
As part of Chegg’s commitment to the Center, Chegg will
contribute to the discourse around the future of higher education
through the sponsorship of a new podcast series, Higher Ed
Spotlight. Hosted by veteran journalist and higher education policy
expert Ben Wildavsky, the series features conversations with the
visionaries, academics, and innovators on the frontlines shaping
the future of learning.
Guests will share their provocative perspectives on what is, and
is not, working in higher education today and discuss some of the
sector’s most pressing questions, including why students’ needs are
changing, how technology is reinventing learning, and what
institutions need to do to respond.
Episodes feature discussions with:
- Dr. Paul LeBlanc, President of Southern New Hampshire
University, who discusses the challenges facing non-traditional
students, including who is being failed by the status quo in
education and why the sector struggles to drive social
mobility.
- Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal discusses how the
Biden administration aims to make college more accessible.
- Dr. Mildred Garcia, President of the American Association of
State Colleges and Universities, reveals her experiences as a
first-generation college student, the value of state schools
vis-a-vis the Ivy League and how universities can embrace online
learning.
- Dr. Charles Isbell, Dean of the College of Computing at Georgia
Institute of Technology, addresses how the university experience is
changing for both students and professors, how technology is
reinventing student services and why computer science needs
diversity if it is to solve the problems of tomorrow.
- Dr. Ann Kirschner, digital media pioneer, author, university
professor at CUNY and former Dean of Macaulay Honors College,
explores the relevance of liberal arts to working life, what the
public and private sectors can learn from each other, and whether
long-established universities have the ability and incentive to
change.
The podcast is produced by Antica Productions.
The first five episodes of Higher Ed Spotlight are available on
iTunes, Spotify and other podcast streaming services. Listen and
