The University of Minnesota's Assignment Calculator and Research Project Calculator are great tools for students who need that extra structure in laying out what to do when. It was fun playing around with different deadlines and watching how the program would disperse the amount of work over the specified time deadline. These tools would probably be nice additions to a library or learning center's web page.
I also really appreciated the resource support materials that are available for both the students and the teachers. The students are able to link on various pages from various institution's writing centers to get guidelines as to how to do the recommended tasks, and teachers are able to link on handout materials for the students to assist them in their research projects. Both of these tools have usability for those that need a formal structural layout or for those that just want to see some recommended deadlines to help give some basic guidance.
