The History Engine: Doing History with Digital Tools | Academic Commons

'One of the primary goals of the History Engine project has been to design a research and writing exercise modest enough in its analytical scope and its length that it allows students to "do history" long before a senior seminar or capstone course. (Another important goal, discussed below, is to capture this research to amass a large history archive.) The History Engine is an online archive consisting of thousands of "episodes" written and contributed by undergraduates.'

Visual Dictionary Online

MARS annotation: "Visual dictionaries allow users to match images to words. In this stunning online version, 6,000 illustrations and twenty-thousand full definitions are included from all aspects of life. Access is provided two ways: users may browse by broad themes such as food, architecture, machinery, or sports or they may search using the index search box. Students might search for illustrated science topics like cicadas and plant cells, while homeowners can surf through the House or Gardening sections. With pronunciation audio clips, the Dictionary is aimed at English learners and translators. Weaknesses include animated advertising, small typeface, a distracting corporate logo watermark, and difficulty working in older browsers. This dictionary is the place to go for accurately labeled, detailed illustrations of everyday objects from soup to nuts."
