Learning how to use a university library can pose a challenge to first-generation college students. Depending on their educational background, many such students might have little or no experience tackling major research assignments and navigating cavernous university libraries.

Something that stood out to me was how science and engineering students typically looked for people (rather than subject headings) during the information gathering stage. The objective was to find researchers working in particular areas and then mine their websites for additional papers. That’s exactly the approach that Scholrly hopes to improve upon.

Giuseppe Mauriello: I "scooped" this service called Clipboard when it was in private beta, October 15, 2011: Today Clipboard, that allows users to save parts of Web pages, is no longer in private beta.
From review on The Next Web: "Clipboard was founded by Gary Flake, who previously founded Microsoft’s Live Labs, Yahoo Research.
Flake sees Clipboard as a service closer to Dropbox, then he does Pinterest. While Pinterest is more for vanity sharing, his company is all about capturing the important parts of the web for your own purposes, whether you want to keep your clips private or share them with others.
Along with coming out of beta, the site has launched its own feature called “boards”, which Flake tells me was the original concept for the site. Users can now put together all of the things that they clip into a Pinterest-style board and share them publicly or just with specific people.
By using Clipboard, you can not only share links, you can share the actual context of what interested you in the first place, with the code from the page completely intact. So if you wanted to clip an IMDB page, all of the links to the actor pages would remain. This beats the current Pinterest experience of simply grabbing an image..."

Clipboard is a fantastic tool. One of my favorite for now. I don't see the point of Pinterest.
With Clipboard we grab all what we want. Almost perfect.

Hi Paulo, I agree with you. One of my favorites for me too.

Have you been examining your approaches to online course design and development? Are you looking to engage in discussion with others who are looking at ever increasing demands with a small department and budget? Our department has faced these questions, challenges, and opportunities and over the last four years we have evolved a process that has moved us from missing deadlines and not meeting expectations to meeting deadlines and creating products that are gaining recognition beyond our university. Our aim, within this BbWorld session, is to share our experiences and discuss our current processes.

Polling has long been a source of inestimable knowledge particularly for researchers. Gone are the days when one needs so much paper work and travelling to make a single poll or survey. Thanks to the massive influx of technology, what used to take months to survey takes only a couple of days.
There are now a wide range of great web tools that allow users to create and conduct polls and surveys instantly and for free. I have compiled a list of some of the best survey tools specifically for teachers taking into consideration their educational needs. These tools are free and very simple to use. Most of them have embed codes to use when sharing them on your classroom blog or website. Via juandoming

Over the past several weeks UNESCO has been publishing individual titles in its Working Paper Series on Mobile Learning.
Recently the Organization concluded the first phase of the Series by releasing two Global Themes papers. These papers, unlike previous titles, are not region-specific. Instead they synthesize information contained in the regional papers to identify salient trends that cut across geographic boundaries.
