3. Quizlet: Particularly handy during exam season, this online tool allows users to create study sets, flashcards, practice quizzes and games to aid in memorizing information.

4. Grammarly: Writing essays and papers becomes much easier with Grammarly—it checks your writing for grammar, punctuation and style errors, and also detects plagiarism.

5. Coursera / edX: These platforms offer thousands of online courses from universities around the world, allowing students to delve deeper into their subjects of interest or explore new areas of study.
