Diigo
http://www.diigo.com/ If you browse or read a lot on the web, we believe you will find Diigo indispensable. Diigo is two services in one -- it is a research and collaborative research tool on the one hand, and a knowledge-sharing community and social content site on the other. Diigo provides a browser add-on that can really improve your research productivity. As you read on the web, instead of just bookmarking, you can highlight portions of web pages that are of particular interest to you. You can also attach sticky notes to specific parts of web pages. Unlike most other web "highlighters" that merely clip, Diigo highlights and sticky notes are persistent in the sense that whenever you return to the original web page, you will see your highlights and sticky notes superimposed on the original page, just what you would expect if you highlighted or wrote on a book! |

Research Resources
http://www.researchlaunchpad.com/ Research Resources - The Research Launchpad Project is the brainchild of Ric Shreves, whom many people in Asia remember as the person who introduced them to Internet Research. Starting in 1998, Ric began running Internet Research courses first in Hong Kong, then in Shanghai, Guanzhou, Bangkok, and elsewhere in the region. The courses covered a range of skills, from basic research to specialized Business Intelligence and Legal Research. Over the years, the courses have been attended by literally thousands of people. The Research Launchpad site brings together a variety of resources and tools into one website. Inside you can find news, reviews, and features on Internet research, as well as tutorials for users of different levels. One of the site's unique features is the "Launchpads" -- annotated lists of the best resources of each type (e.g., search engines, directories, etc.). In a similar vein, but with a different slant, the "How to Find..." section organizes resources into topical categories (e.g., people, business intelligence, news, etc.) |

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) USA
http://www.w-w-c.org/ The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) USA The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) is a national project created by a joint venture of research institutions in August 2002 and funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement to provide educators, policymakers, and the public with a central, independent, and trusted source of scientific evidence of what works in education. Through several easily accessible Web-based databases containing information about what works, WWC will provide decisionmakers with the information they need to make choices based on high-quality scientific research. WWC will develop standards for reviewing and synthesizing rigorous research and will present its findings in accessible, straightforward language through the following user-friendly, searchable online databases: - an educational interventions registry that contains reviews of potentially replicable programs, products, and practices and synthesizes the scientific evidence pertaining to their effectiveness in enhancing student outcomes. - an approaches and policies registry that contains evidence-based research reviews of broader educational approaches and education policies; - a test instruments registry that contains scientifically rigorous reviews of test instruments used for assessing educational effectiveness; and - an evaluator registry that identifies evaluators (both individuals and organizations) who are willing to conduct quality evaluations of education interventions. |
