MAECEL Virtual Toolbox – Tool #4 My Personal Knowledge Management System

Graduate students often conduct a great deal of research for both professional and academic purposes. As you know, evaluating your sources of information is crucial because you want to use credible sources to support your claims, arguments, and assertions in all of your coursework. So, now that you know how to find and evaluate quality web-based sources– you will need a system for collecting, annotating, organizing, and sharing your own personal library to improve your workflow and productivity.

For this assignment, you will create Tool #3 My Personal Knowledge Management System using both Diigo (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. or Symbaloo (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and Powerpoint slides. Using the content topic areas of the MAECEL PLOs and the sources you have examined during this course you will bookmark a total of 20 quality, web-based sources in your Diigo or Symbaloo library. These should be sources that you will want at your fingertips throughout the program to easily locate credible information on various program topics for discussions and assignments. They can be resources you included in your annotated bibliography last week, although at least five of them must be new to this week. After you have created your digital library, you will choose five of the new sources in your library to discuss in further depth. For each of the five sources you choose, you will describe the source, explain why it is a credible source, and discuss why you find it valuable in your academic and professional pursuits.

Please see this week’s Instructor Guidance for further resources, supports, and examples related to this assignment.
