Digital helpers for your studies: These are the apps and tools you should know.

The digital world offers you many opportunities to make your studies more efficient and organised. Here you will find a detailed overview of the most useful apps and tools that can help you with various tasks in your everyday study life:

Collaboration

Miro is a digital whiteboard that makes teamwork much easier. You can work together on projects, visualise ideas and share them with others in real time. With Notion, you have a digital workspace for your projects. You can write, plan and organise yourself. A suitable online service for clearly displaying tasks is Trello. Tasks can be managed and assigned to different people.

Design and collaboration

With Figma you can create prototypes and wireframes, design graphics and collaborate on projects. FigJam, on the other hand, is ideal for brainstorming, developing and visualising ideas in a team.

Learn and structure

Evernote is an efficient note-taking tool that not only helps you organise and collect your notes, but also your photos and documents. Additionally, you can edit texts, create to-do lists and save your research. If you like to work with visualisations, we recommend Mindmeister. This software allows you to create MindMaps quickly and easily in order to present the learning material graphically. Flashcards are more your thing? Then use Card2brain and Quizlet to better internalise the material.

Writing and research

Google Scholar is a special Google search engine that helps you find academic papers. And Zotero is a practical tool for managing literature that makes it easier to collect, manage and cite sources. If you need to translate texts into another language, we recommend using DeepL for fast and accurate translations. Now nothing should stand in the way of your next work!

Presentations

Canva allows you to create beautiful presentations and graphics. Even if you have no design experience, you can create professional designs using Canva's templates. Infogram is ideal for creating charts, dashboards and graphs, and Prezi lets you create stunning, non-linear presentations to engage your audience.

Photos and graphics

Unsplash and Pexles offer a huge selection of free, high-quality stock images. Pixlr is a web-based photo editor that is a good alternative to expensive programmes like Photoshop. And if you need vector images or icons for your presentations or work, Undraw, Flaticon, Freepik and Noun Project are good places to go.

So why not try out some of these apps and tools? They can help you get more organised, make it easier for you to complete your assignments and thus make your studies more efficient.
