8 Resources for Preventing and Detecting Plagiarism This morning in a workshop that I facilitated with Greg Kulowiec there was a great discussion about copyright, Creative Commons, and fair use as it relates to using media in iBooks Author. During that conversation, Common Craft's explanation of Creative Commons was helpful. Later in the day I had a conversation with a couple of teachers who were also concerned about students plagiarizing work when constructing iBooks. That conversation prompted me to dig up some resources fore teaching students what plagiarism is, how to avoid it, and how to detect it. Education is the best prevention. 1. 2. Helpful web tools June 17, 2016 Librarians make a huge difference in our students lives. They are entrusted with a wide variety of educational tasks.

Is Wikipedia a Trustworthy Academic Resource? Scientists Think So It might seem like common sense to exclude Wikipedia from the list of great science resources, but researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology would like you to reconsider that notion. A team of researchers from MIT and the University of Pittsburgh asked chemistry graduate students to flex their writing skills and create new Wikipedia articles on scientific topics that were missing from the site, eCampus News reports. The new scientific Wikipedia articles received thousands of views per month, including many from researchers writing scientific literature. eCampus News reports that the researchers found Wikipedia to be influencing one word in every 300 in typical scientific articles. “Our research shows that scientists are using Wikipedia and it is influencing how they write about the science that they are doing,” Neil Thompson, an assistant professor of innovation and strategy at MIT’s Sloan School of Management, tells eCampus News.
Révolution néolithique, révolution de l’information Il y a environ 12 000 ans, le climat terrestre commence à se réchauffer, en oscillations successives. Dans les millénaires qui suivent, en des points différents du globe et sans liens entre eux, différents groupes de chasseurs-cueilleurs entreprennent de domestiquer des plantes et des animaux, ce qui augmente encore les possibilités de sédentarité : c’est la période dite « néolithique ». Cette sécurisation nouvelle des ressources, avec une alimentation plus stable et plus abondante et de qualité, provoque rapidement un boom démographique chez toutes les sociétés qui l’ont adoptée, boom désormais hors de contrôle et qui n’est toujours pas achevé de nos jours. Ces sociétés de plus en plus nombreuses absorbent peu à peu celles des chasseurs-cueilleurs, ou bien les repoussent dans les zones les plus inhospitalières. Cette diffusion est clairement le fruit d’une migration, due à ce boom démographique. Ces sociétés agricoles, de plus en plus complexes, inventent de nouveaux objets.
Plagiarism in Pop Culture: Coco Coco is a 2017 film animated film by Pixar Studios that achieved both critical and commercial success. It won two Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature, and became the 15th highest-grossing animated film of all time. Inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations, which are ongoing as this is post is published, the film tapped into themes of family, culture and destiny to tell a story that connected with audiences around the globe. However, the film had one theme that wasn’t widely reported: Plagiarism. To understand how, we first have to take a look at how the story in Coco unfolded and then we can examine just how likely the plagiarism is, both in the context of the film and our modern era. Content Warning: Spoilers for Coco. The Plot The film begins with 12-year-old Miguel telling the story of his great-great-grandmother Imelda. Miguel learns of a local talent show but is unsure about entering it. However, when the two meet Ernesto, Hector confronts him. Bottom Line
Why Use Sources? § Harvard Guide to Using Sources College writing assignments generally ask you to respond in some way to sources. Some assignments will require you to consult only sources assigned in class, while others will require you to locate your own sources relevant to a specific research topic. In many of your courses, your research will focus primarily on written texts such as books and scholarly articles, but you may also be asked to consult a variety of other sources, including letters, diaries, films, works of art, data from experiments, numerical data, surveys, and transcripts of interviews. What constitutes a useful and reliable source will vary according to both your assignment and the methods used in a particular field of study. Social scientists in some fields, such as psychology and economics, also consider empirical journal articles (articles that describe the results of original research) published in peer-reviewed journals to be primary sources.

To tackle student cheating, we need to reimagine university assessment | Jon Scott | Higher Education Network Ghost-writing academic work is nothing new but until relatively recently it was out of reach of most students. Now essay mills have started rolling on an industrial scale. Their sophisticated websites offer production of a whole range of assignments up to and including dissertations and theses. If required, a typical undergraduate essay, on pretty much any topic, can be turned around in less than 24 hours. They have become so normalised that last month, a BBC investigation uncovered YouTube stars being paid to promote an academic cheating website based in the Ukraine, in videos with more than 700m views. This is an international business, with writers ranging from undergraduate students through to academics lining up to bid to write the assignment for the prospective client at prices often well below £100. It’s clear that essay mills are here to stay, so where do we go next? Instead, universities – including my own – are starting to think creatively. Looking for a higher education job?

A Very Good Web Annotating Tool for Research Students and Teachers March 16, 2017 Lumio is an excellent tool to use for bookmarking, curating, and clipping web content. Students can use it to highlight interesting content in a webpage, add notes to it and save it for a later access. Highlights are recorded together with source information so students can easily check back and cite source pages.
