Screw University, Course Hero Curates YouTube Into Free Business and Coding Classes

Course HeroYou can learn just about anything from YouTube...if you're willing to dig through millions of videos. Luckily, Course Hero has done the work for you, offering coherent classes by hosting collections ofthe best educational YouTube videos. The newly launched courses section of the eduTech startup's site now has classesinentrepreneurship, business plan development, and programming in a variety of languages. Meanwhile, Course Hero all offers crowdsourced study guides, tutoring, and flashcards.Khan and Codecademy are great, but aren't as scalable since they create the content themselves. By drawing from YouTube and other openly available education, Course Hero plans to set up courses for anything it, or you, can think of. And if the pursuit of knowledge wasn't enough, students who complete itsEntrepreneurshipclass can enter an business plan competition whose winner will get to pitch to Course Hero investor Ron Conway and SV Angel.
