Is there any evidence that being able to turn a DNA model in 3D is going to made it easier to understand how the amino acids fit together? I find it implausible. As for calling up your friends, what makes us so sure they have mastered the material? Instead, the student needs to save up questions for the recitation or office hours.
The way I want to supplement text material I don't understand is to read a differently worded explanation. Wikipedia is good for this. Paying $500 to get iPad eye-candy -- which for most US undergradautes means $500 more in student loans -- makes little sense.
