![]() ![]() Of course, the same mechanism could be used for quoting. Each citation would have an embedded link to its source and to the user's notes on that reference. Once the text is done, a bibliography is automatically generated. Click on the right reference(s) (which already include page numbers), and you get context-appropriate citations, say in author-date or in footnotes. Pressing that button would bring up a Zotero database for the class (with participant-specific sub-databases). In Moodle, along with the "Insert a Web link" button, there could be an "insert a reference" button. Sharing links isn't very different from sharing bibliographic references and this type of "sharing" something that is already done by large numbers of people (in my mind, it's a rather large part of what people call "social" in terms of "Web 2.0"). RefWorks has a RefShare feature which allows people to share bibliographies in a database format. In fact, Diigo (thanks, A.T., for making it more visible) might be a good basis for this as it already promotes "active reading" (highlight and comment, for instance). So, the idea here might be to have reference software and social bookmarking all rolled up into one. With a rather high proportion of undergraduate students and with a significant number of graduate students, this can be a non-trivial task. If students are already doing social bookmarking, it could be easy to get them to do proper academic references. You know, one thing which makes a lot of sense with Zotero is that it brings academic references closer to social bookmarking. Thanks to the organizations and people behind Zotero for developing a free professional web based reference manager! ![]() Why not ask the developers at Zotero to make a plug-in like the one for Wordpress - ? "Īnyone else acquainted with Zotero? I would like to hear your views and ideas on how to use it in Moodle. Data will be available at different access levels (e.g. Users will be able to create collaborative groups and share notes and tags along with their bibliographic metadata. Through server syncing, users will have another way to access their Zotero library from multiple locations." I believe there will be an RSS-function as well.Ģ.0 (this fall): "Zotero 2.0 will offer users the ability to share collections with others through the Zotero Server. It is multi-lingual! There are plug-ins and extensions for Word, Openoffice and Neooffice.ġ.5 (this summer): "This version of Zotero will offer users the ability to sync their individual collections with the Zotero Server. Its features are very beautiful and practical and can be fruitful for Moodle, like drag and drop formatted references into the Moodle editor. It lives right where you do your work - in the web browser itself." I have become a friend of Zotero - "a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources. ![]()
