A large part of the time she spends working on a computer occurs in the time spent on her phone during the interval between classes; thus, the list will be mobile-friendly, allowing all items to fit onto a thumb, and the wifi password will be the item people will try out last when on a bus. Users tend to choose three to four tools that suit their workload and continue using them as the semester progresses. The fact makes this tool kit effective as the goal is not to use every single tool available.
One small but extremely useful detail: all is well, fast html pages, no single-page app, which means that each tool stands alone as an individual page and is bookmarkable, openable in another tab directly from the current lesson, survives a dropped connection and is shareable as a direct link to a classmate who needs this specific thing right away. A little extra for the daily slog.
