What mobile apps can help you with your studies?
Technological innovations are changing the approach to learning day by day. The current concept of EdTech, which began with distance education, is now attracting a lot of talented specialists. There are new methods that combine learning with gaming and entertainment, as well as more and more mobile solutions that allow access to lectures and assignments anytime, anywhere in the world.
With funding growing, new companies are working at the intersection of education and technology, and, of course, new products that involve technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality in a more active way.

Khan Academy
One of the most successful and “longest-running” projects in education for everyone began when Harvard graduate Salmon Khan helped his sister, who lived in another city, to solve a math problem in a very unusual way. He recorded a video of the solution and uploaded it to Youtube.
The idea was born to create a series of short tutorials on subjects ranging from mathematics and computer science to finance and global history. The application contains thousands of interactive exercises, videos, articles, adapted for different levels of experience – from schoolchildren to students and university professors. Khan Academy provides easy access to all the content of the portal from mobile devices, the user can download the content of interest and save it to study later at any free time, regardless of Internet access.
Lingvist
The online language learning app is available in web, iOS, and Android versions. The developers used neural networks to quickly and accurately determine the level of language proficiency. Artificial intelligence “adjusts” each course for the individual student, determines what words and at what time to learn, on which topics to focus, and in which the user is sufficiently well oriented and can be skipped.
Foreign language teachers can create their own classes in the app, to which they can invite users by sending them a unique link. “Course Creation Wizard” gives the teacher the ability to keep track of what topics students have completed, how much time was spent learning, where progress is most evident, and what should be repeated.

Thus, every student or pupil is involved in the process of lessons, and the teacher immediately sees the result of each.
