Site Spotlight: Owlcation
What can you find on our academic site?
With schools back in session for the start of the fall semester, the HubPages team thought we should take the time to remind everyone of the plethora of information and resources that are available on our academic site,
Owlcation.
From STEM to humanities to even resources for teaching and learning, there are thousands of articles across the site that can provide you with factually accurate, sourced, and well-written content.
Whether you are a high school English teacher trying to help your class understand what's really being said in Shakespeare's sonnets or a student trying to figure out a niche history subject for a paper, Owlcation has the content to get you started.
In short, we have our site broken down into four major categories:
- STEM, where you'll find everything related to math, animals, human biology, and other sciences like physics and chemistry.
- Humanities, with information related to literature, history, theology, visual and performing arts, and biographies. We also have a section for writing tutorials, where you can find information on topics like breaking through writer's block and tips for improving your essay.
- Academia, where you can find information more geared toward teachers, like lesson plans, standardized tests, ESL advice, and information on college and university admissions and life.
- Social Sciences, which includes articles on psychology, anthropology, sociology, economics, political science, as well as legal studies.
Though we have publishing standards for all of our network sites, the editorial policy for Owlcation is held to an even higher degree. There are articles here that deal with very important topics, and therefore, we take extra time to make sure the author publishing has some level of knowledge or expertise in the field and that all the information is both well organized and sourced and has worthwhile media accompanying it.
Pay attention to hyperlinked information, sources at the bottom, and author profile pages denoting expertise. Sometimes, at the top, you'll even notice pieces are labeled as having been expert-reviewed, which means it has been looked at by a third person to ensure factual accuracy.
We're excited to be able to offer you such a wide range of information and articles for you to use this upcoming academic year!
