First Claim
1. An article of manufacture for monitoring activities of a person quoting information verbatim in an electronic document file being authored, said article comprising:
- a computer readable medium suitable for encoding computer program code; and
one or more program codes encoded by said medium configured to perform the steps of;
(a) receiving a user-selected first insertion point or replacement area for placement of verbatim quoted information within a first user interface to a destination electronic document file;
(b) subsequent to receiving said first insertion point, providing a source user interface to a user-selected source electronic document file upon user command;
(c) subsequent to providing said source user interface, receiving a user selection of text content to be transferred from said source user interface to said first insertion point or replacement area;
(d) subsequent to receiving said user selection of content, automatically copying said selected content to a transfer buffer without requiring said user to return to said first user interface;
(e) capturing and recording one or more source reference data items corresponding to said selected content simultaneously with or subsequent to said automatic copying;
(f) producing in said destination electronic document file a footnote, endnote, or bibliographical entry comprising said captured source reference data items; and
(g) automatically generating a human-readable monitor report containing said recorded source reference data items and an identity indicator of said user.

Abstract
Content is transferred from one computer resource to another computer resource by receiving a first insertion point or replacement area from a first user interface to a destination computer resource, receiving an enablement to perform automatic paste operation, switching to a user interface to a source computer resource, receiving a user selection of content from said source user interface, and automatically copying the selected content to a transfer buffer and to the designated insertion point(s) in the destination computer resource. Each time source content is selected, a number of source reference data items such as author, publication date, and source file name or network address are captured and stored. The stored source reference identifies may then be used to automatically generate a monitor report containing this information, which is then provided to an online learning administrator or instructor.

12. A system for monitoring activities of a person quoting information verbatim in an electronic document file being authored, the system comprising:
-
a first user-selected insertion point or replacement area received for placement of verbatim quoted information within a first user interface to a destination electronic document file;
a source user interface to a source electronic document file through which said user can manipulate said source computer resource;
one or more text elements selected by said user subsequent to definition of said insertion point or replacement area to be transferred from said source user interface to said first insertion point or replacement area;
an automatic copier configured to copy said user-selected text elements to a transfer buffer subsequent to selection of said elements for transfer, said copier copying said elements without requiring said user to return to said first user interface;
a source reference data item recorder configured to simultaneously with or subsequent to said automatic copying capture one or more source reference data items corresponding to said selected content upon operation of said automatic copier;
a reference note generator configured to produce in said destination electronic document file a footnote, endnote, or bibliographical entry comprising said captured source reference data items; and
a monitor report generator adapted to automatically generate a human-readable monitor report containing said recorded source reference data items and an indicator of the identity of said user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
