6 Essential Android Apps for College Professors

In an increasingly online world, professors have to educate themselves on how they can best serve their students. Sometimes that involves creating online classrooms, webpages for projects and assignments, and knowing how to search for plagiarized material. Fortunately, these 6 Android Apps can help you manage your classes from your phone.

  1. Note Everything: This allows users to type, draw, and voice record notes, and then organize them into folders. Find your notes with an easy search and import or export them onto an SD card. You can record key points to share in your next lecture, and you’ll have no excuses for forgetting to correct your students papers.
  2. Grade A: A grading application that helps professors organize their grading systems by student performance, assignments, tests, quizzes, extra credit, and attendance. You can keep grades with separate folders by class, student and assignment. And, everything easily exports to Excel.
  3. WXClass: A mobile learning network that helps language teachers find and use web and mobile technologies to help them and their students with the language learning process. Versions are available in Chinese and English. WXClass is targeted towards ESL teachers and students.
  4. Schedule: The name is simple, and that is what this app does. It helps make your very complicated life simple through handling multiple schedules. Similar to Microsoft Office’s calendar, little grids hold everything you need to remember.
  5. Grade Ticker: Keep track of points for papers and exams as you grade them using Grade Ticker. This easy program deducts points from the total possible as you go, so you can save time by not having to tally points later.
  6. Grade Rubric: When you calculate grades using Grade Rubric, an option pops up to generate an email message to the student including the final grade and a breakdown of the individual marks in each category you choose. Just enter in the student’s email address and press send, or write an additional message before the news is delivered.
