A New Chapter for Chegg

Online textbook rental outfit Chegg is ready to take on a heavier load. The site is announcing today plans to offer a broader range of student services such as course selection advice, homework help and personalization. The expansion, taking advantage of its acquisition of CourseRank and Cramster, will advance Chegg’s social ambitions. “We know students’ class schedules, professors’ required reading and other materials in the class that are used,” said CEO Dan Rosensweig. “We have that history….Nobody else is able to bring this kind of personalized, relevant experience to students.”
