Virtual Flashcards, If you need help remembering facts and key terms for a class, apps like Quizlet can help. Create sets of flashcards that can be used online, or in a smartphone app. This is also a great way to study for standardized exams like the GRE. If you don't like Quizlet, there are hundreds of other similar apps and programs, like Cram and GoConqr.
Keep projects organized Trello is an online tool to help you organize tasks for projects. It can help you keep up on your course assignments, or coordinate with other students on group projects.
