Win a Google Nexus 7!

Today we're pleased to be launching a competition that gives you the chance to win the Nexus 7 tablet - Google's fantastic answer to the iPad. On the Nexus 7, the Crossref-it.info mobile website is a joy to use, and of course you have access to thousands upon thousands of apps.

Usually, the Nexus 7 would set you back £159 + postage, but by taking part in this little competition it can be yours for free.

How to take part

Taking part is easy, simple and quick. All you need to do is click the link at the bottom of this page to take part in a short survey we are doing of our users. The survey is very short and its aim is to help us understand you, the Crossref-it.info community, better. This will help us improve the site.

So, if you want to help us improve Crossref-it.info, have a short moment to spare, and want to win a Nexus 7, what are you waiting for?

Please note: we are only able to ship the Nexus 7 to a UK address, but international users are still welcome to give us their views in the survey! By clicking the link to the survey, you accept the terms and conditions outlined below.

Take part in the survey and win a Nexus 7!

A text for the weather!

As snow still lingers across Britain into April, it only seems appropriate that the next revision study plan from Crossref-it.info is on Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale! This text strikes balance between cold / decay and the restoration / hope of spring and summer to come. Bring it on!

Help at hand

The app covers all sorts of areas:

> Easy multiple choice questions so that you can be confident you’re familiar with the play

The revision app tells you how you’ve done and gives you the chance to try again if you get something wrong, pointing you in the right direction to find the correct answer.


> Directed note-making on important aspects of each scene

It’s like having your own personal teacher, shining a light onto the key points you need to think about.


> Useful essay questions on character, narrative and theme, with examples of how you might answer

From this point of the academic year onwards, you need to gather together all the strands of what you’ve learnt and weave them into coherent arguments. The app shows you how (and for more advice about essay and exam writing, check out the ‘How to..’ section at Crossref-it.info).

Access point

First install the free Crossref-it.info English Literature app from the Chrome Webstore using the Google Chrome browser. Once you’ve signed in, for just 79p you can get guided revision help on The Winter’s Tale. And don’t forget those all-important bronze, silver and golden quills waiting to be added to your account. How far will you go?

Fancy a Nexus 7?

Next week visitors to Crossref-it.info will have the chance to win Google’s fantastic answer to the iPad (which would otherwise set you back by £159) by answering 10 quick and easy questions about the site. Your feedback will help Crossref-it.info keep improving.
