Online learning monitor

Content is transferred from one computer resource to another computer resource by receiving a user-selected first insertion point for placement of verbatim quoted information within a first UI to a destination electronic document file; receiving a user selection of text content to be transferred from a source UI to the first insertion point; copying the text content to a transfer buffer without requiring a user to return to the first UI; recording source reference data items corresponding to the selected text content without requiring the user to return to the first UI; producing in the destination electronic document file a footnote, endnote, or bibliographical entry comprising the reference data items; and generating a human-readable monitor report containing the source reference data items and an identity indicator of the user, wherein background execution prevents knowledge by the user of the monitor report.
