This way, if the student is experiencing the same struggles, there might be a different solution the new teacher can use, or if something worked in the past they could try that method again!

EasyBib released its chrome extension that allows users to cite websites automatically and offers a credibility review of the site as a source. The author who reviews this extension asserts that the citation feature is really useful, but the advice on credibility depends too much on the website domain and is not smart enough to distinguish between the different content available; rating opinion pieces, comments, and news articles on an approved site equally credible.

Interesting , not sure if its effective but really cool for people who do not want to do citations.
