Technology Thursday: Why You Should Be Using StudyBlue for Ready-Made Study Material

In college you learn quickly that time is of the essence, and the more tools you have in your corner to help you, the better right? Especially being an online student. There are so many resources out there that can help you through your journey as an online learner.
So what is StudyBlue? It is a massive online database of study material, from notes to flashcards. Having things like this already available to you keeps you from having to make them yourself and you can get right down to studying! What’s even better is that you can personalize your StudyBlue experience: you can read notes from other students, even students at your school taking the same class as you. So how does it work? Here you go!
 Sign up as a student HERE and select either class or interest.
There may even be students in your class who have already signed up and started sharing. Then you can just click to view the study materials others have posted and start studying.
StudyBlue is still pretty new so that may not be the case. If so, share the site with your classmates and let them know that studying and creating flashcards can be a group effort that saves everyone some time if they just sign up. You are all in this together!
If your class isn’t set up in the system yet, you can always add the subject as an interest instead of a class. Then you’ll be able to pull study materials, flash cards, and quizzes from the entire system of students and learners.
It may not be the exact information required to pass the exams in your class, so you may want to only use the “Interest” option for genuine interests.
Once you get your classes and interests setup you just start studying!
StudyBlue is available on the web, iOS and Android platforms so you can easily study on the go or wherever you are.
