Patrick Sheffler, a freshman English secondary education major, is pleased that the iPad is strengthening his study skills.

Sheffler uses the app Evernote when he is in class. This app has a recording option. Sheffler records his professors’ lectures through this feature.

“I like to record the lectures and play them when I am studying,” said Sheffler. “I can then become engaged in the material once again. These recordings really bring my notes to life.”

Sheffler can already see benefits from developing this study skill.

“I am better prepared for exams and essays through this new form of studying,” said Sheffler.
