Often, we hear students’ quest to use technology to make their lives easier – Portable devices such as laptops and mobile phones offer the convenience and accessibility they need. Have you thought of having some personal applications for yourself, which you can bring along wherever you go?
During the JISC Conference in late March, I had a good chat with colleagues from the RSC Scotland North and East. They introduced me a new package called LearnApps (which has been published lately on their website). It provides students a good mix of applications ranging from work processing softwares, organisers, multi-media tools, to other handy applications such as web browers and mini-games.
What I find it helpful is you can download the package to your USB stick, and use it everywhere without going through the process of installation. For those of you who would be interested in tools for teaching, there is another package for teaching professional which includes Moodle resources. You can also pick and mix your own package, so I am sure you would find something useful for you!
