  • The Plagiarism Spectrum is a list of the 10 most common types of plagiarism. The 10 types have been “tagged” with digital 2.0 monikers to help spark recognition and enhance the stickiness of the types for students.

  • “Our notion of authorship and originality was born, it flourished, and it may be waning,” Ms. Blum said.
  • Instead of offering an abject apology, Ms. Hegemann insisted, “There’s no such thing as originality anyway, just authenticity.” A few critics rose to her defense, and the book remained a finalist for a fiction prize (but did not win).
  • “If you’re taught how to closely read sources and synthesize them into your own original argument in middle and high school, you’re not going to be tempted to plagiarize in college, and you certainly won’t do so unknowingly,” she said.

  • The Internet may also be redefining how students — who came of age with music file-sharing, Wikipedia and Web-linking — understand the concept of authorship and the singularity of any text or image.

    "…students leave high school unprepared for the intellectual rigors of college writing" said Wilensky. HS students must understand that their learning experiences in schools, will develop the skills they will need in Higher Education. 9-12 students should be exposed to articles like this, stating real cases of plagiarism in Colleges, and discuss them, thinking in their future in University and in how prepared they are to face it. Thanks for sharing!

  • he two most important points to consider when paraphrasing are: 1) you must cite the source of the paraphrased text both in the body of your article, and in the reference list, and 2) you must express the original concepts using different words.
  • f you’re still not sure what constitutes plagiarism, see the comparisons put together by the School of Education at Indiana University, Bloomington.
  • The University of Wisconsin also offers practical tips and exercises to help you paraphrase, including, “Look away from the source; then write,” and “While looking at the source, first change the structure, then the words.”

  • Carol Rohrbach and Joyce Valenza of the School District of Springfield Township have put together a bulleted list to help you understand when it’s preferable to paraphrase, summarize and quote.

  • But something like the concept of plagiarism has not changed.
  • But I don’t think that youth today are somehow more prone to plagiarism than their parents and grandparents, no, just as I don’t think they are somehow “dumber” or less interested in reading or many of the other myths about youth in a digital era.
  • Few of the handouts we analyzed—18%—defined plagiarism, discussed it as a form of academic fraud, and/or explained ways of avoiding it.

  • an academic crime they have told us they really do not fully understand.
  • It’s not the core topic of most courses; it’s not fun; and it sounds school-marmish to bring it up. I prefer not to bring it up in my own teaching, so I quite understand the reluctance of teachers in your sample to do so.
  • It’s wrong to take the work of someone else and pass it off as your own, whether in the academic context or otherwise.
  • One area where some confusion seeps in has to with remixing content.
  • The remixing of content, with proper attribution and in keeping with the fair use principle under copyright, is something that we ought to encourage and to celebrate. We do need to help students understand the line between riffing off and ripping off the work of others.
  • These are skills that we should find ways to teach. I think they are best taught in the context of active projects where students have their hands dirty with materials, whether digital or not.
  • ibrarians should help our students figure out how to manage the rivers of digital information that they encounter every day…right now librarians are focused on the pools.
  • I think we need to be in the business of using these new rivers of information, adding to them, sharing what we know, and coding – developing, in the sense of writing computer code – new ones that work even better.
  • First, I want students to learn more about creativity and what they can and should do with information, whether or not it is held in copyright by someone else. How can they use and re-use they extraordinary wealth of information that they are blessed to have access too? Second, I hope that they will learn the skills to manage the vast amount of information they are confronted with. That includes knowing where to look, how to be efficient, how to stay on top of great sources.
  • And third, I think it’s crucial that they continue to learn to think independently for themselves.

  • The work that results from your use of the copyrighted materials needs to be transformative, i.e. substantially different from the original, and offer added value; it can’t  just be a copy, or a slightly modified version of it with a few words changed or the odd sentence or paragraph moved around;  and
  • 2) The copyrighted work can’t be used in a way that is likely to deprive the original author of income, or any potential income they might earn from the copyrighted works (such as book sales, or income from online advertisements if they run a web-based business).
  • Personally, I would always check with the person who created any work that I proposed to use that they were happy for me to use it, to avoid encountering problems further down the line.

  • Quoting entire posts or large blocks of texts that other people have written within your posts is generally frowned upon and may annoy the person you are referencing sufficiently for them to ask you to remove them! You should quote the minimum amount needed to get your point across, and let your visitors decide whether they want to visit the author’s site and read the rest of the article.
