Online students are always on the go. Whether they're studying in a coffee shop, or working from home, it's hard to stay organized and on task with a variety of devices (laptop, tablet, phone). If you struggle to keep your online coursework up-to-date for these reasons, here are some helpful features available on your phone that will make your life easier!
Four Helpful Apps for Online Students
Wallet App
One of the newest developments in mobile technology are wallet apps. For many devices, these apps are used to make purchases, hold tickets, and for some, even your ID. For online students, this is useful because they need all materials at home, and they tend to spend money online between books and course materials. The wallet app allows you to easily pay for and order the materials you need.
Notes App
As an online student attending lectures and course study sessions, having a notes app on your phone can be essential. The notes app allows you to quickly and easily take notes while watching lectures. Another benefit of many apps is the ability to sync your notes to your cloud and share them to all devices.
Many phones come with a notes app but there are plenty of other options that can be used for notes as well, one of them being Evernote. Evernote gives the ability to sync notes across devices and organize them clearly.
Reminders App
Another main app for online students that can and should be utilized is the reminders app. The reminders app can be one of your biggest assets when it comes to staying organized, completing assignments on time, and remembering when things are due. It is as easy as opening the app, entering your assignments, and selecting their due dates as the day to remind you. Forgetting due dates is one of the most common ways students miss grade points in classes and an app that ends that should be used by every student.
Canvas
Most online schools use a program to deliver your courses and one of the most common apps is Canvas. Canvas is used by Southern Utah University to deliver online courses and the Canvas app is a great tool for online students. Using the Canvas app gives you better access to assignments, grades, and communication between other students and teachers. In all honesty, this is the most important app you can have on your phone. Make sure you have it and use it.
Your phone can be a great tool as an online student. It has features that make it easy to stay on top of your classes and assignments without having to carry around heavy textbooks or worrying about forgetting important deadlines. No matter what you are doing to find success in college your phone can help you.
