"Apart from the ability to collaborate in real time, my favourite tool inside Google Docs is the ability to conduct research without having to leave the document I am working in.

"Not only does the research feature save you time, but allows you to easily collate a bibliography of sites that you have visited and used.  This is perfect for students doing a major assignment, where research and quoting secondary sources is a major focus.

"The research tool can also be used by younger students to start the research process.  I encourage students when starting to research a topic to find all the information they might need to gain a general understanding of their topic.  Once they have a number of sources and understand the topic in general, they can then easily go back through their research doc and find relevant information which will allow them to understand the topic in more depth."

Studying is not the intended function of this application, however, by uploading lecture slides as images, or taking pictures of the board during class, then uploading these images to Pixntell, would allow you to create your very own custom Flashcards. By recording your own audio notes to accompany the images, you could create short movies that could act as bitesize recap tools to support your revision, or prompts for studying, or a visual plan for your coursework.
