The many tools that you can use regarding education are varied and incredibly useful, from the standard mobile app to sophisticated internal software that bigger educational establishments use to platforms or even very popular websites as well as Augmented Reality (AR) programs that are doing well in the classroom environment. So let's have a look at a few.

The benefits of a great organizational tool are showing that it is possible to be in constant communication with your college or university. The tools such as mobile-enabled PeopleSoft Campus Solutions work on so many different levels. This tool, for example, has functions such as remote accessibility to class schedules or checking grades and looking at your finances, as well as planning your academic schedule based on the classes as well as a road map of their educational journey. With many tools such as this making college and higher education a lot more organized for students as well as it being very handy on their smartphone, it is making leaps and bounds in the administrational aspects of student life.

One of the more trying methods of a student in education is trying to get essays or dissertations in on time. If there are students that suffer from visual or reading impairments such as dyslexia or Irlen syndrome, then many people can benefit from audio dictation software such as Dragon which gives you the ability to type as fast as you speak, rather than getting repetitive strain injury from typing all through the night to get the essay in at 9 a.m! Another problem with essay writing for students is the grammar and punctuation, and apps such as Grammarly or the Hemingway App can help you to go through your work and highlight areas where you may be falling down in terms of your writing style, pointing out if you are adding unnecessary words or if there are motifs in your writing style that do not suit the format of the essay you are writing.

As far as educational tools are concerned, there are many different ones that help rather than impede the learning process. Even common websites like YouTube is an incredibly rich online resource if you know how to use it properly! While there are many different videos on YouTube that are of a questionable nature, there are still many films and resources that you can use to your distinct advantage during the course of a presentation on just about anything, from Shakespeare to the online marketing trends of the Japanese fish merchants!

As a student, it's very important for you to be in contact with your college or your lecturer, and this is where tools as common as Google Hangouts or Skype are very useful, as you are able to make contact with tablets, smartphones, mobile phones or PC’s very easily. Even an app as popular as FaceTime can be a wonderfully simple tool to get in contact with a lecturer to ask a question or two.

And even the progression in collaboration software such as Adobe Connect means that students and teachers have a lot more interactivity than they have before. But it also means that the students may have to do more studying as a result, which may or may not go down well!
