12 essential digital tools
There are thousands of free apps to help you thrive. Haven’t yet found the time to evaluate them all? Don’t worry about it — your friends at eConcordia have you covered.
On Tuesday, November 15, the university’s online learning provider launched 12appsofholidays.com, where the eConcordia team will share two curated apps per week.
Think of it as a digital holiday calendar: the last app will be revealed on December 22.
Mobile technologies to help you flourish
The project was conceived to provide Concordians with the gift of free mobile technology.
And, who better to curate a dozen outstanding apps than the technophiles at eConcordia, your gateway to all online, credited courses at the university.
The eConcordia team includes instructional designers, graphic and multimedia designers, video producers, programmers, web developers, quality assurance specialists who work with faculty members from the university.
Over the past few months, they’ve downloaded, reviewed, debated and then decided on a selection of top apps to help improve your everyday experience as a student, faculty or staff member.
The apps that made the final cut had to check many boxes: they had to be free, stable, available for iOS and Android and of interest to a broad segment of Concordians.
Bookmark 12appsofholidays.com and visit twice weekly
Visit the page twice weekly until December 22 to read about, download and start using apps to simplify and improve your everyday experience at school and beyond.
New apps will be available on the following days: November 15, 18, 22, 25, 29 and December 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 20, 22.
Feel free to leave comments, rank the apps, as well as suggest your own personal favourites that you’ve used in the context of teaching and learning.
