I am planning to create a digital collection of resources on
avoiding plagiarism. Part of my current job is teaching plagiarism awareness
workshops for students who get in trouble for cheating and plagiarizing. I
often wish that the resources that I use in my lectures could be aggregated on
a website that would be more accessible to students. The collection could
include resources on avoiding plagiarism that are created by university writing
departments, news stories about plagiarism, examples of plagiarism, podcasts
and lectures about plagiarism (both from faculty members and companies like
Turnitin.com), and policies about academic integrity. The collection will have
text files, images, audio files, and videos.
One of the main groups I would like to utilize my collection
is students who have taken my class. I would like to provide students with
additional resources to avoid plagiarism after they complete my course. I
anticipate that this collection would also hold some interest for other
educators (both English teachers, learning support staff, and librarians) who focus
on writing education. The final group who might be interested in the materials
is students who are looking for writing resources online.
Some of the terms to provide access to the collection might
be: plagiarism, academic integrity, writing, prewriting, paraphrasing, citing,
citation, guide, English, and lecture. I have 12 items so far, I am still
looking for a few more to round out the collection.
