The summer is almost over and for students that means it will be soon time to get back to school. Those carrying iPads back to to the hallowed halls of academia should look at these apps.
In this digital age there is no need to carry those huge, bulky course textbooks. Kno Textbooks is an app that provides access to over 200,000 textbooks (which must be purchased).
Once the textbook is bought the iPad is used to access it much like the paper versions, with some advantages. The books can be searched, a powerful feature, and many have multimedia content to aid the learning process.
Students can import PDF documents for use right in the app.
From the publisher:
· Enhanced Content: Watch videos, interact with 3D models and simulations, or access web links to see your books come to life.
· Advanced Search: Your textbooks with a search engine. Find the answer faster by searching through all your Kno content.
· Journal: Your personal study guide instantly created from your highlights, notes, and bookmarks.
· Flashcards: Flashcards are automatically created from the glossary for easy review (only available in some books).
· Kno Me: One stop, personal study dashboard that enables you to track your learning engagement, a leading indicator of learning success.
· PDF Reader: Import your PDFs from the web, email or Dropbox, all-in-one place.
