Abstract
A content management system allows users to capture content from content sources such as web pages and hardcopy publications, by using a client application running on personal computers and even mobile devices. The client application creates bibliography citations for captured content by gathering information from and/or about the content sources. Captured content and corresponding citations can be stored in a cloud data storage and can be searchable by other users. The client application can include a document editor facilitating importation of captured content and bibliography citations into documents being edited. Embodiments are adapted for use by course instructors and students, to facilitate, e.g., sharing of captured content among students and plagiarism checks by instructors and students. Embodiments are integrated with social networking services to facilitate sharing of content with users' contacts. An online marketplace of providers (e.g., tutors) and tutorials may be provided to enrich the collaborative learning experience.
