    Course Hero
    It is a great tool to help students find help by providing it without having to pay a lot and search lots of sites, especially when it comes to finding answers based on the name of the course or the university, so it comes precise and directly without searching a lot for them.

    Khan Academy
    Khan Academy is a great supplement for things you already have learned, or as a mid-level course (versus a deep dive or high school/university level course). It is great for a paced learning environment if you want to casually refresh yourself on a subject or learn something new. I don't think this should be a replacement for structured learning, or if you struggle in self-paced learning environments. There have been times I would like to have been able to ask a professional (like an instructor) when struggling with a subtopic, which is possible in a classroom setting.

    • On my iPad, to change the language of Khan, I need to change the language of my iPad in the settings
    • It can be a bit messy and the category are a bit too generic, not enough per level category
    • Sometimes the quizz are too simple, it would be nice to have an extra difficult one as a bonus

    I find it handy resource for learning. I have found the tutors quick to answer and it helps to solve the homework questions as well. It saves a lot of time. I always get support in new subjects and am practically ready for any new subject as there are always good course options available. I would definitely recommend Course Hero.

    I've only had to seek support one time. There was a glitch in one of my lessons and I submitted an email. The glitch was fixed by support within a few days, but I would've liked for it to be faster. However, I don't have a big complaint there because it is a free service.

    Really good. The courses were really well articulated. the time of learning for less and understanding was good. These are high demand courses in the industry as well. So, these courses can be a great resource for personal and professional development. The material again is a winner on these courses

    I personally found Khan Academy much better suited for adult learning of difficult or larger topics. Not so much for smaller changes that can be communicated via email. But it was more engaging and I found the information easier to digest. Change management can be tough but with the right tools it can be a breeze.
