REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Course Hero, the popular online learning platform that helps students study and supports more than 190,000 educators to cultivate teaching strategies for more engaging classrooms, has been awarded in the inaugural edition of the World's Top EdTech Companies 2024. This prestigious award is presented by TIME and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced on April 17, 2024, and can be viewed on Time.com.

The World's Top EdTech Companies 2024 list recognizes companies primarily focusing on developing and providing educational technologies, products, or services. In support of the research, data was gathered from company applications, annual reports, media monitoring, and other public sources. Additionally, Statista worked with specialized data partners, HolonIQ and LexisNexis PatentSight to further strengthen the data quality.

The ranking is built on the research and analysis of over 7,000 companies across two dimensions:

Financial Strength: Revenue, funding data, and company disclosures were analyzed.
Industry impact: Analyzed quality and impact of product or service portfolio, and the quality and value of the company's intellectual property.

Companies received scores in each of these dimensions, which are then combined into an overall score. 250 companies with the highest scores that have demonstrated an extraordinary impact on the industry and strong financial performance were awarded.

Based on the results of the study, Course Hero is ecstatic to be recognized on TIME's list of the World's Top EdTech Companies 2024.
