Abstract

A computing device executing software displays a view of a search assignment in a user interface to a learning platform. The device receives user input comprising search terms associated with the search assignment, and generates queries based on the user input. The device submits the queries to a search engine, whereupon the search engine performs searches based on the queries, and the device displays the results. As a user evaluates resources provided in the results, the device updates the user interface to include an option selectable for adding evaluated ones of the resources to a collection of resources for the search assignment. In response to the user selecting the option with respect to a resource of the evaluated ones of the resources, the device adds the resource to the collection of resources.
