11 Amazing Online Study Tools All Students Should Know About

The internet is wonderful thing, isn’t it? Once upon a time, university students had no choice but to sit in a library to research or speak to actual human beings for help with their work. However, they now have a wealth of resources on the internet that you can access from the comfort of your student studio. They can assist in everything from improving time management to producing revision material.

Here are some of the best online study tools available for students right now…

GoConqr

GoConqr is a fantastic online tool that allows students to create a variety of different study aids, including mind maps, flashcards, quizzes, study planners, slides, and more to help with assignments and exams.

Many people learn more effectively with visual stimuli, and this is where HippoCampus can help. It’s a free website that has around 6,000 pieces of multimedia content across various subjects, including maths, sciences and humanities.

Udemy

Udemy isn’t a study tool as such – it’s a resource where you can find courses on various topics to increase your learning. These are proper, paid-for courses, so you might have to try and squeeze them around your studies or you could try and find courses during your holidays. A great way of furthering your knowledge or trying something new.

Marinara Timer

This one’s a bit different in that it doesn’t offer any study aids or anything like that but rather helps your productivity and effectiveness whilst working. It works using the Pomodoro method, whereby you work for 25 minutes and then having a 5 minute break, with a 15 minute break after an hour. It does, however, allow you to make a custom timer to fit how you want to work.
