E-learning systems have dominated internet based education for past two decades. However, traditional systems fail to keep pace with advances in internet technologies and social interactions online. To support technological diversities, a web based application combining social network and visualization can be developed to enable a better learning environment. This would help tutors and students to improve their participation in online conversation. The overall learning experience can be facilitated with features like simultaneous recording of live conference which would enable a user to drag back on time scale, providing a language based editor on the application and tag based search.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
