Websites For Students: 10 Online Learning Tools

When I was in elementary school I was very annoyed by all this
studying. But my idea and hope was that once I was done with school, I
would also be done learning. I couldn’t wait.Thus I was rather
irritated when I heard that my dad had to complete training for his job
to learn new things. I remember I asked him when one would be done
learning and the essence of what he said was of course never. Bummer!Some
20 years later I’m still a student and I know I’ll never get done
learning. So hang in there and enjoy it! Here are my favorite websites
for students.
1. Chemistry

Dynamic Periodic Table

This
periodic table helps in keeping elements apart. You can highlight them
by their aggregate state (solid, liquid, gas, unknown) or group
(nonmetals with subgroups and metals with subgroups). Clicking on an
element or group will launch a separate window with the matching
Wikipedia article.
Periodic Table of the Elements

This
periodic table is more compact than the previous one and it’s great for
a quick summary for each element. As can be seen in the screenshot
below, all elements are represented by a matching image and clicking on
it launches a small information window.
2. Biology

Foldit

Foldit
is not really a tool you’ll need for your everyday biology class. BUT
it can help you understand something about proteins AND help scientists
at the same time. Basically it’s a game and it’s your task to build
protein molecules based on previously described structures.
Simon has reviewed the tool in detail in his article Foldit – Solve Puzzles for Science.
3. Mathematics

Mathway

This
is an online tool that will help solve your maths challenges. Just
enter the “problem statement”, select a subject and hit solve for the
solution including the steps taken to get there.Varun previously wrote about Mathway – A Step By Step Mathematics Problems Solver.
SpeedCrunch (Windows, Mac, Linux)

Unlike Mathway, this is a very powerful desktop calculator that contains a ton of helpful libraries for various maths problems.Damien just recently introduced this tool in all its depth, so check out his piece SpeedCrunch – High Precision Freeware Desktop Calculator.
4. Languages

LiveMocha

This
is a social network for learning languages. While you are helping
others to improve their skills in your native language, they may help
you improve a foreign language you are struggling with. They may even
help you with your French homework.Saikat wrote a thorough review of LiveMocha – Small The Coffee & Learn The Lingo.
VerbaLearn

With
VerbaLearn you can improve your English vocabulary with online study
sessions. The tool learns with you, keeping a record of your progress
and weaknesses. You can listen to your study list offline to better
memorize the words and practice the pronunciation and online you can
read examples of how the word is being used.The tool was recently introduced by Tim: Practice Your Vocabulary With VerbaLearn.

Bullfighter (MS Word and Powerpoint plugin)

Similar
To VerbaLearn, this tool is designed to improve your use of the English
language. The tool will analyze your texts for jargon. The higher your
Bull Composite score, the higher the chance people will actually
understand what you are trying to say.James has written about Bullfighter – Simplify Your Writing & Gain Results.
5. Literature

wePapers

On
this website people can share and expand their knowledge for free. You
can read the material others have provided and upload your own papers to
contribute to the community.
Zotero (Firefox extension)

When
composing an assignment or a thesis you have to reveal your sources.
Zotero is a Firefox extension that can help you keep track of your
references and organize a citation bibliography for Open Office or MS
Word documents.
