More and more students use tablet and smartphone in everyday life, such as research reports done by the student support page online StudyBlue with nearly 1 million members in semester 1 / 2011.
Research shows a surprising result that students who use these devices usually have time to learn more about 40 minutes a week compared to students who do not use them.

Nearly half of students use the application associated with the school before going to bed, while she woke up as the queue; 19% use smartphone for similar purposes, even when taking a shower and 17% is during exercise.
However, when the smartphone is used for academic purposes, nearly 40% of the learning process which includes some signs of distraction caused by using other phone functions. Action is the most common distraction message to friends or relatives, in addition students also read and answer e-mail, surf the web to find information, phone calls, access to social networks and listening music.
StudyBlue is planning on an application on the iPad support learning in the future. More and more students use the iPad in the daily operations of the class, and an application similar to Microsoft Office on the iPad would be a product that is welcoming students when performing the exercises in class.
