Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (NYSE: BNED), a
leading solutions provider for the education industry, today
announced that in its continued support of colleges’ and
universities’ shift to digital learning in response to the COVID-19
pandemic, the Company will provide free digital self-tutoring and
writing services for students through its bartleby® suite of
solutions.
With continued developments in the spread of COVID-19, colleges
and universities nationwide have turned to online learning to
mitigate the impact of campus closures on students’ academic
journeys. This abrupt shift in teaching and learning can be
daunting for students, who are often unprepared for the lack of
in-person support offered by the traditional classroom setting.
The bartleby suite of solutions, including bartleby learn™ and
bartleby write, supplements the academic support typically provided
by faculty members and on-campus tutoring and writing centers. As
campuses close and less resources are available to students,
bartleby provides supplemental learning assistance that is
accessible to students anytime, anywhere.
In order to ensure students are equipped for ongoing success in
light of recent COVID-19 related campus closures, bartleby is
offering the following free promotions through June 15 for all
students:
- Access to 10 free homework questions and tutoring help from
experts through bartleby learn, monthly. Tutors will provide
step-by-step explanations in over 20 subjects to help get students
back on track and teach them how to solve the problem on their own
come exam time.
- Premium access to bartleby write, a 24/7 virtual writing center
that provides spelling and grammar checks, accidental plagiarism
detection and citation assistance.
Colleges and universities that are interested in offering
widespread access of these tools to their entire student body can
do so by partnering with bartleby on an institutional program. In
light of the current learning environment, bartleby will be
offering expedited program rollouts to new clients, which would
allow students to gain access to these offers before the end of the
Spring term. For more information, contact
studentsuccess@bartleby.com.
“We understand the immense pressure colleges and universities
are under to ensure students can finish their Spring term with
minimal interruptions to their learning. As a digital and student
centric company, we at bartleby want to do everything in our power
to support the entire education ecosystem as we all navigate this
unprecedented situation,” said Kanuj Malhotra, President of Digital
Student Solutions, BNED. “Bartleby provides digital solutions to
help while on-campus support solutions are curtailed, from tutoring
help to writing guidance. We hope that by providing free access to
these tools we can help institutions keep students on track,
allowing them to feel confident and prepared no matter where
they’re attending classes from.”
