As previously mentioned above, an interactive application for iPhones, Android, Pads and Notebooks would be very beneficial for the day to day learning process and I completely agree that mystudies, lecture materials, exam dates, ‘aussteigerknopf’ etc should be unified into one platform/App. However, I’d like to add one particular thing to the whole interactive app system: file cards (German: Karteikarten)
You might remember those days when you wrote thousands of these cards to remember things, but in the end it got messy anyway. Therefore, it would be really cool if some teaching assistants would provide important questions which you could answer on your phone/whatever gadget when your in the bus or train or even during the lecture. Furthermore, one should have the possibility to ask questions which would be answered by a teaching assistant and added to the database. I do not claim that traditional revising could be totally omitted by this card system, but students could clear up a lot of questions and teacher don’t need to repeat themselves over and over again. This might eventually lead to an interactive wiki for each course, which you could use your time while your are bored, waiting or traveling.
