//Introduction //
 StudyBlue is a collaborative learning ecosystem in which students can connect with others who are on a similar learning journey through a shared library of user-generated content.  StudyBlue provides intelligent learning tools for the students to use, such as flashcards, notes, study guides and more. Teachers should choose this tool for its dynamic style and varied activities for revising topics. By creating and using digital study materials, students will understand and memorize information faster. Moreover, students can study anywhere on any device since they may use free applications designed for effective learning.
