ECE 600 AU Black Lives Matter in Education Discussion

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the websites Diigo (Links to an external site.) and Symbaloo (Links to an external site.). 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 build a knowledge management system for your chosen social justice topic using either Diigo (Links to an external site.) or Symbaloo (Links to an external site.). You will bookmark a total of 10 quality sources that you will want to utilize for your final project. You can utilize the resources from Week 2 Social Issue Research journal that passed the CRAAP worksheet, however you must add at least 5 new sources. After you have created your digital library, you will choose five of the 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 for your Summative Part II: Social Justice Issue Presentation final project.

In your paper,

State the purpose of your current management system.

Provide a screenshot of your Diigo (Links to an external site.) or Symbaloo (Links to an external site.) page, as well as a link to your library for your instructor to access.

Explain five sources in relationship to your Summative Part II: Social Justice Issue Presentation final project. For each source, be sure to describe the source, explain why it is a credible source, and discuss why you find it valuable for your Summative Part II: Social Justice Issue Presentation final project.

Discuss how knowledge management systems can contribute to your success as a graduate student.
