I'm excited to announce that CAIS has just subscribed to a wonderful online research service called NoodleTools. NoodleTools supports students and teachers through the entire research process: making notecards (which students can do online through NoodleTools); creating a research project outline; and creating a bibliography. We think this could be a very valuable tool for helping us improve the quality of our research instruction here at CAIS. With proper planning we can scaffold the teaching of research skills and, as part of that effort, teach students how to conduct proper searches online. Warren and I are looking forward to working with teachers to help integrate NoodleTools into your research projects!
