Online Education Database. 150 Resources to Help You Write Better, Faster, and More Persuasively. OEDb, 30 July, 2007. http://oedb.org/library/features/150-writing-resources. 25 September, 2010. Web.
Online Education Database is a web resource intended for students receiving their degree through an online college or university. The website is published by the company (OEDb) and first appeared in 2006. The database has a large amount of information concerning degrees, careers, academic journals, writing resources, and other tools pertinent to a college student. The “library” tab, which can be found at the top of the page, has a lot of resources and information applicable to our class. My three links are located in the library section.
Link #1: How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography
Engle, Michael, Amy Blumenthal, and Tony Cosgrave. How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography. Cornell University, 10 September 2010. http://www.library.cornell.edu/olinuris/ref/research/skill28.htm. 25 September 2010. Web.
This link provides detailed information on the process of preparing an annotated bibliography. It instructs the reader on how to critically appraise the resource they are citing in their annotated bibliography, how to find the right citation format for a resource, and provides a sample annotated bibliography entry for a journal article using both the MLA and APA citation format. The information on this website is concise and easy to comprehend.
Link #2: How to Write a Better Weblog
Mahoney, Dennis A. How to Write a Better Weblog. A List Apart Magazine, 22 February, 2002. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/writebetter. 25 September, 2010. Web.
This link provides advice on how to make your blog writing more professional, entertaining, and increase your readership. It highlights the differences between professional and amateur blog writing, details the mechanical rules of blog writing (i.e.: grammar, spelling, syntax, structure, etc.), and gives tips on how to amuse readers. This link is incredibly informative, straightforward, organized, and easy to read.
Link #3: Future of the Media
Dube, Jonathan and CyberJournalist.net. Future of Media. CyberJournalist.net, 2010. http://www.cyberjournalist.net/category/future-of-media/. 25 September, 2010. Web.
After clicking on OEDb’s link to CyberJournalist.net, I clicked on the tab “Future of Media,” located at the top of CyberJournalist.net’s homepage. “Future of Media” highlights some of the recent trends and developments in online media. It discusses the differences between Internet news sources and newspapers, the evolution of media consumption since the turn of the century, social media developments, the pros and cons of real-time web journalism, and more. All of the information pertains to our study of the “global media narrative,” analyzing the historical progression of news media outlets and its effect on the circulation of information in society.
