Notes can be highlighted and even add diagrams with annotations. Moreoever, notes can be shared privately amongst other users.

Attendance is a universal iPhone/Touch/iPad app (runs on iOS 4.x and 5.x) that allows you to take and keep attendance records. Its main intended use is for teachers to keep track of records for their classes, but it can also be used for meetings and group gatherings. The attendance statuses are completely customizable. You can import names a number of ways including formatted CSV files that you store in your Dropbox account or send as email attachments. You can also import names from an Address Book group or you can enter the names by hand on your device. In response to a few of the reviews, I have updated the Attendance support web page with text describing the various import options and how to use the app. Links to the relevant videos are included along with the text descriptions.

Many universities have developed their own apps such as Stanford, University of Texas-Austin, and MIT to keep students in touch with their campuses. They feature news, sports, event information, campus maps, and directories.
