Assignment Calculator and LibData
Assignment Calculator and LibData
The Assignment Calculator tool and the LibData tool, developed by the University of Minnesota, will be made available at no charge to Minnesota State Colleges & Universities institutions. Hosting for these service will be provided by St. Cloud State University. If you have further questions or are interested in deploying these tools for your institution please contact Todd Digby at todd.digby@so.mnscu.edu.
About Assignment Calculator
Assignment Calculator provides students with a basic time line and framework for writing papers. After typing in a due-date, the Assignment Calculator displays a list of tasks needed to be accomplished, the dates on which these tasks need to be completed, and links to tutorials and instruction sheets that can help students progress. The outline can link directly to subject resources provided through the LibData software.
About LibData
LibData contains three aspects to LibData:
Research QuickStart (Metro State calls this JumpStart)--a subject guide to resources;
CourseLib (SCSU calls this Course QuickStart)--resources tailored to specific classes;
PageScribe--resources tailored to any specific purpose
All run out of a central database of resources, but can be presented with different headers and footers and with different layouts. Annotations for resources can be edited for specific subjects. LibData provides usage statistics.
