Thing #16 -- Student 2.0 Tools

We customized the Assignment Calculator and added it to our library's web page a little over a year ago. We tried to link as many of the steps to content on our own web site as possible. There are links to it from various pages on our web site, including a section we have for new students. Whenever I'm teaching these students about using the library for their research projects I usually show them the Calculator. Web site statistics indicate it doesn't get as much use as many other parts of our web site, but this semester there have been just over 200 views of our Assignment Calculator so far.

We also added links on our web site to the Research Project Calculator found on the ELM Portal. In this case we just link to that site; we did not create our own version of it.
