Helping Students Prepare for Exams
London (UK), May 2012 - EducationApps, a UK provider of mobile revision apps for students, has released more than fifty apps over the past two months. The apps help students prepare for their examinations, including Common Entrance, GCSEs, AS-levels, and A-levels.
The majority of these new apps are quiz based. Users can take a random test or focus on a specific topic. They get detailed explanations and links to further reading when they select an incorrect answer. Users can further select their exam board, ensuring they only receive content that is relevant to their course.
George Burgess founded EducationApps when he was just seventeen. Now twenty, he continues to manage the company while a full-time student. He says, "Mobile learning is overlooked by many traditional publishers. With my proximity to education, I realised that there are thousands of students who have come to expect this type of material on their mobiles but can't find it. EducationApps solves this problem."
The new apps are available for the iPhone and iPod touch. Many are also available for iPad, Android, and BlackBerry. Apple has just featured the majority of the apps under the "Exam Time" banner on the home page of their App Store.
EducationApps has also teamed up with Oxford University Press to release a series of undergraduate apps, including Oxford University Press' popular "Concentrates" series for undergraduate students studying law.
Throughout May, EducationApps is rolling out two new apps a day and is staging daily competitions on its Facebook and Twitter accounts. Going forward, the company will partner with more publishers to increase the variety of EducationApps' content. Burgess says, "We have exciting projects in the pipeline and are working closely with many of the world's top academic publishers."
