\"Tree<\/a>Helping you get the most out of educational apps<\/strong><\/em><\/h1>\n

In the summer we asked you (our students) about how you use your mobile phones and we received some great feedback. In relation to one particular question of use, you told us that on the whole you used apps, but aren\u2019t sure which ones may help you with your study.<\/p>\n

From this we felt it would be great to hear about how students are using apps whilst here at Edge Hill, with a future plan to share this knowledge so that it might help others.<\/p>\n

So our first venture was at last Friday\u2019s Get Connected roadshow in the University Library, where we asked you to make our Christmas tree appy. Which you did in your masses, aided no doubt by the offer of a free chocolate or pen. In total 117 students noted on a gift tag, both their favourite app and a study app that they would recommend to other students, and these suggestions decorated our tree. As you can see from our picture, you made our Christmas tree very appy indeed.<\/p>\n

This is what you told us:<\/p>\n

Favourite Mobile Apps<\/strong>
\n\"Favourite<\/a>No prizes for guessing what your favourite app was \u2013 Facebook with 25% of all decorations.<\/p>\n

Twitter came in second with just over half the votes of Facebook at 13%.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, there was a wide range of other favourite apps, with 39 different ones nominated, showing a real diversity to your usage of mobile apps.<\/p>\n

Recommended Study Apps<\/strong>
\n\"RecommendedThe most popular app that you would recommend to your fellow students was Google with 11% of all results.<\/p>\n

Second was Dropbox with 9%, then ReferenceME at 5% and Dictionary taking fourth place with 4%.<\/p>\n

31 different study apps were recommended, however 38% said that they hadn\u2019t ever used an app for study.<\/p>\n

\"Empty<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not surprisingly 100% of the chocolates were appy\u2019ly consumed!<\/p>\n

Following this successful start, we really want to continue hearing of your experiences with apps \u2013 especially the ones you use in your studies which you think might be a good recommendation to others. If you want to help, please email adrian.cain@edgehill.ac.uk<\/a> with the title \u2018Are you appy with your mobile?\u2019, or add a comment to this blog post.<\/p>\n
