The Get More Out of Google Infographic Summarizes Online Research Tricks for Students
My favorite Google trick is to use Google Books to search for citations and useful quotes. When I'm writing papers or doing research, I usually have a bunch of quotes that I've scribbled down somewhere, or thrown in my paper without citing it, and when I have to go back during the editing process and fill in all that information is super useful to be able to search google for the exact page number. It's also useful to help find themes within books. For example, in a current paper I'm working on I wanted to find all of the times that Locke talks about slavery. So I pulled up the edition of the book I had using the ISBN, and searched for the word "Slave." The preview feature doesn't give me all of the text, but it gives the page numbers and that is enough for me to go to the book and look up all the useful references.

Designing Interaction in an Online Curriculum Much of the information available online about “creating interactivity” focuses on specific software applications such as PowerPoint, Acrobat, or Flash. What the designer of an online course needs, however, is not specifics about interactivity in individual programs, but rather a big picture idea of what interactivity is in the classroom and how to embed that interactivity in online learning in order to provide the richest possible learning experience for students. In a F2F environment it is easier to adjust the level of interactivity on the fly, in contrast to an online environment, in which more careful planning is required in advance to ensure that the intended interactivity of the course is well-supported.
