We are studying alone but some
time we need to studying with group cos we are bound to run into group work.
But some times , it’s hard enough to getting other peers in touch but having
the right tools its possiable.
In below I am suggisting some tools to get in
touch and work in group.
ExamTime
ExamTime
provides a learning environment that allows students and teachers to create,
construct, share and discover the
learning resources. It helps in the creation of study groups for sharing,
collaborating and discussing ideas with other students studying the same thing.
Other notable features of ExamTime are creating Mind Maps and Flashcards,
making your own notes and taking quizzes to evaluate yourself.
Another unique and helpful feature ExamTime has is it allows you to create
your own study plan using
their Study Planner. The Study Planner can help students keep their proper pace
while they’re studying and also helps to boost their motivation.You
can sign up for ExamTime by using your email address or by linking your
Facebook account to ExamTime. It is really important to complete
the user profile information because
it will help you by searching for content that would interest you. ExamTime is a
web application, which means you can use it on a browser but
you won’t be able to access it through an app. All of the tools are free but
they have some premium plans as well to help you maximize your use of ExamTime. link- examtime.com
OpenStudy
Is a free community of groups created by students from all around the globe. OpenStudy allows members to get live help for homework assignments or class tests from other members who are studying the same thing. By answering questions other members may have, one is able to earn credentials, which can lead to them becoming an OpenStudy Ambassador. Any member of the site can create a group related to a particular topic or subject and invite others who are studying the same thing to join it.Students can sign up for OpenStudy using their email addresses or by connecting through their Facebook accounts. Even those that aren’t registered can view the content (queries and solutions) posted on OpenStudy groups. However, a student cannot post a question or query without registering through Facebook. At the time of writing, around 190 active study groups and 1 million students from 160 countries are registered members of OpenStudy community. If you’re worried about how fast you’ll get the answers to your question, OpenStudy claims that around 75% questions are answered within 5 minutes. link- openstudy.com
StudyBlue
StudyBlue is a free service for students to learn collaboratively. It is a flashcard based service. It allows students to create and share their own flashcards related to a subject or topic. One of the features of the service under the tab ‘Study Tools’ is the ability to create and customize their own flashcards using either text, audio or images. These come with different study modes and students can even complete self-assessments through quizzes. They can also review work sheets and flashcards and even create study guides by including flash cards for a particular subject, which will be updated automatically when new flashcards are added.Teachers can create their own virtual classes and add students to these classes. This allows the teacher to keep track of the students. Students themselves can store and organize their notes, flashcards and other items in their own digital backpack. StudyBlue can be synchronized easily with Evernote as well. Since its launch, more than 4.5 million people have joined StudyBlue and more than 200 million pieces of content have been shared by members.

You can also engage in live chat and even work on a problem together using the Whiteboard feature on ThinkBinder.
