So version 2 is online, but what lovely new features does it add to Notely. Along with the usual security and performance changes there’s also a massive list of new features and improvements;
- Schedule builder
- Calculator
- Dictionary
- Translator
- Convertor
- Whiteboards
- Grades
- Advert free accounts
- Reorder or remove Notely’s tools.
To go along with all the new tools that Notely 2 has there are some new tour videos online at http://www.notely.net/tour/index.php.
Schedule Builder
The new schedule builder allows you to plan your days by dragging your courses into their slot. Made a mistake? Just click on the course in your schedule and poof it’s gone.
Whiteboards
Whiteboards are Notely’s way to collaborate with friends whether it’s for an assignment or group project now you can write notes with your friends. Whiteboards can be edited by a select group of friends with all previously saved versions archived and restorable at any time.
Grades
Currently in alpha (not really ready for general consumption) mode the grades tool will allow users to track their grades over all their courses. Integrating with the tasks tool by adding all tasks marked as complete in the appropriate grades section.
Advert Free Accounts
Notely is currently funded by advertising, but now we’re taking donations. In return for a $5 donation you can remove adverts from your Notely account for a whole year. Any profits made from these donations (anything above server and domain purchase costs) will be donated to Educate For Life a charity that helps to fund the building of schools in some of the worlds poorest areas.
Reorder or Remove tools
With Notely version 2 comes the evolution of the Notely philosophy; evolving into a learning platform with tools to suit an even wider range of users. With this evolution of Notley comes the introduction of Notely’s new menu system. Don’t want to track your to-dos? Simply remove to-dos from the menu and it will never bother you again.
Calculator
Pretty obvious really, a little calculator to help with all those maths related tasks.
Translator
A nifty translator that covers most european languages. Powered by google the Notely translator can be found under the tools menu item.
Convertor
Converting units can be pretty darn hard and boring so along comes the Notely convertor. With a wide range of units covering a multitude of unit types.
Dictionary
Learning a foreign language? In a bind? Notely’s new dictionary has your back; look up words in a large variety of languages.
