One of the challenges that I always give to students when they work on collaborative research projects is to "go deeper than you would if you were working alone." The idea that I try to convey to them that the purpose of working together is not to make the assignment easier it is to make it possible for them to discover more information than they would if they were working alone. If the students are researching a topic online, often a series of emails with links to useful materials gets bounced between them. To alleviate the inbox flood, here are three tools that students can use to collaboratively organize their online research.

Robin Good: Doctors, who are passionate scholars of their area of expertise, could become better expert resource hubs for anyone needing help on that topic than traditional search engines like Google.
Jason Berek-Lewis, founder and author of Healthy Startups, writes: "...we now have access to more information than at any time in our history. But, how much of the health information online is trustworthy?
A 2010 study conducted in the United Kingdom found that only 39 percent of sampled health websites provided accurate information (see http://www.bupa.com.au/staticfiles/Bupa/HealthAndWellness/MediaFiles/PDF/LSE_Report_Online_Health.pdf).
The large volume of dubious online health information provides a unique opportunity for medical professionals to create a new role for themselves in the information economy.
He cites then this valuable passage:
"The web now puts nearly infinite amount of information at the finger tips of our parents/patients.
...This puts them in an excellent position to curate, manage, filter and organize the information that is on the web.
...by embracing the web as pediatric curators, pediatricians have the potential to procure the best healthcare related information on the web and share it with their network. Source: Brandon Betancourt writing on http://www.kevinmd.com
Doctors have an opportunity to use this position of trust to become the new curators of health information.
Doctors who understand curation, who know how to use social bookmarking tools like Pinterest, who know where to find the best and most relevant information will be the ones who add real value to care of their patients..."
Rightful. 7/10

Whenever a new competitor enters the higher-education market and tries something different, those at traditional colleges criticize the newcomers as not understanding pedagogy. Just see the negative comments on recent Chronicle articles about online education or StraighterLine, which offers self-paced introductory courses but not degrees. But what if higher ed lost its grip on the credential business? Perhaps then administrators and professors would be forced to think that there is more than one way to provide a college education.
