Teaching Students about Plagiarism: An Internet Solution to an Internet Problem - Eleanour Snow, Innovate Online
The Internet has changed the way students research and write. Gone are the days of index cards with main ideas on one side and the source on the back. Students can research and write without ever touching a piece of paper until the final copy comes off the printer. They get most of their information from the Internet, and they do not view the Internet the same way they view a book (Townley and Parsell 2004). The Internet is somehow anonymous; there is no author, publisher, and copyright date. While they know using words from a book is wrong, they may not consider a Web site to be intellectual property (Frand 2000).
