GoConqr by Bekii

GoConqr 

The app itself is just a ‘base’ for the other apps. There are four other apps: GoConqr Flashcards, GoConqr Mindmaps, GoConqr Slides, and GoConqr Quizzes. GoConqr requires you to set up a profile which you use across all the apps so you can save your projects. Any projects you create using any of the apps are automatically uploaded to the internet so that other users can access the resources and you can access other users’ resources which is useful if you are short on time. Personally, I could not work the Mindmap app and there were no tutorials or instructions. The Slides app is similar to powerpoint in that you can create a sort of presentation of slides on which you can apply images, text and links to external resources. This may be useful for topics that have too much content to use flashcards as revision.

I found the Quizzes app the most useful for me as you can create many different forms of quiz questions such as multiple choice, true and false, and longer answer. You can also add in an ‘explanation’ that pops up if you get the answer incorrect so you can understand where you went wrong. The Flashcards app is useful for quick revision of key terms or studies that you may need to refresh your memory of, every once in a while, leading up to exams.


Overall, I would recommend that you look into each of the variations of the apps and find what works best for you, as everyone learns in different ways.
