StudyRails’ Rave Reviews

Beta-tested at NESCA, StudyRails, a powerful new, web-based tool supporting children with weak time management or executive functioning skills, is now off and running, thanks in part to two very positive reviews that appeared recently online. The first, by freelance journalist Thursday Bram, was published in lifehack.org, an enormously popular and increasingly influential blog.

The second, on webware.com, was by Josh Lowensohn, who called StudyRail’s calendar program, “one of the more interesting efforts I’ve seen.”

In remarks subsequently carried by Reuters, NESCA Director Dr. Ann Helmus noted that, “Students with good study skills have a great advantage. By being able to plan, initiate and follow-through with their homework assignments, they are much more likely to achieve academic success. StudyRails is exciting because it provides a promising new approach for students to the challenge of managing their homework.”
