There are plenty of content creation apps, but this blog outlines apps that support collaboration between students. Diigo has long been a favourite of mine, but I think Subtext (free) could be a real winner for Academics looking for a collaborative reading tool.

"alexphrodisiac Version 1.0 - Oct 11, 2008 This app is extremely professionally done and highly useful to Stanford students. It's not the smallest campus, and the maps feature comes in handy when navigating, or to find a specific building or place on campus. The directory is also incredibly useful, and the athletics and courses features are great to have. Soon, the ability to actually register for courses will be made available on this app, and that will only further increase its utility. Great job in nearly every aspect of the app. Again, this is an absolute MUST HAVE for Stanford students. "

""I was standing in line in a coffee shop on campus, and noticed that many people these days are using smartphones," says Kayvon Beykpour, vice-president of Blackboard Mobile. "Students are doing all kinds of things with them: they're on Facebook, checking email, making phone calls. People were doing just about everything except interacting with the university, which we thought was a bit of a disconnect. There's so many things that, as a student, you need to do every day, whether it's registering for a course, or finding your way around campus, or checking the directory or athletics scores-and they're all traditionally different places. Why not create a really sophisticated, really elegant, and really beautiful app that brings all those different services together in one place, and makes it really usable for the student, for the faculty, for the tourist? And that's what our platform does.""
