Chegg, Inc. 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.

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 and discuss some of the sector's most pressing questions, including why students' needs are changing, how technology is reinventing learning, and what institution s need to do to respond.
