Apps for Academics: Mobile Web Sites & Apps for Your Academic Life
Nicole Hennig, Remlee Green
Thu Jan 19, 11am-12:15pm, 13-2137
Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Limited to 30 participants.
Single session event
In this whirlwind show & tell, we will recommend the best mobile web sites and apps (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Android) for use in your academic life. We'll demo apps for productivity, library research, note-taking, e-reading, PDF-reading & annotating, sketching, and more. Some apps we'll demo include Evernote, Instapaper, Dropbox, GoodReader, Papers, Wolfram Alpha, PLoS, ACS Mobile, and WorldCat Mobile.
We'll point you to the best apps and mobile sites, and also ask class members to also share their favorite apps. If you're thinking about getting an iPhone, iPad, Touch, or Android device, this may help you decide how you might use it.
The class is 75 minutes and will include break-out sessions where each small group will discuss the apps they find useful and report back to the larger group. We will have several iPads available for use during the breakout sessions. If you have a mobile device that you use for academic work, we invite you to bring it and share your knowledge with the group.
