Fighting Plagiarism
This article will focus on the importance of structuring research projects so they require original thought. The student will not just find an answer. The student will build an answer. To help students understand the concept of creating an idea, it helps to employ several metaphors. If students start to think of ideas like buildings, they will view research differently.

Copyright-CopyWrong
The Educators' Lean and Mean No FAT Guide to Fair Use By Hall Davidson You can't afford to ignore the law, but neither can you afford to overlook the needs of your students. Is it legal for students to use copyrighted clips from videos, CDs, or the Internet to create multimedia reports? These are the sorts of questions that abound in technology-rich schools today. In those gray or controversial areas in which legal precedents have not yet been set, common sense and a willingness to blaze new and ethical trails may be your best guides. Those of you using technology for instruction may be pleasantly surprised at what is legal and ethical. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act signed into law in October of 1998 updated aspects of copyright law. Here are some general misconceptions that might have led you to the "wrong" answers: You thought it was about money. So what is the bottom line? Before I provide this advice, I should warn you that I'm not an attorney. Here's how it goes.
Plagiarism for Dummies: Why Cheating Students Are Missing the Point of Education
To hear college professors tell it, the current wave of student cheating and plagiarism is brand new to higher education. Alas, student plagiarism, especially of the "Can I use your paper for my assignment?" variety, has probably been around since there has been organized schooling, let alone colleges or universities. Fortunately, this problem has never completely taken over colleges and universities for the same reason that college professors crack down on it in the first place. That reason is simple and has been summed up best by the great early 20th century artist Pablo Picasso: "Bad artists copy. Great artists steal." Picasso may have been a jerk in his personal life, but he was a smart guy when it came to being a student of his art. College students who cheat or plagiarize don't get this. Cheating and plagiarizing don't help you learn these skills. It's become popular to blame students solely for this situation in higher education, but other reasons and actors come into play.

Contributors:Karl Stolley, Allen Brizee, Joshua M. Research-based writing in American institutions, both educational and corporate, is filled with rules that writers, particularly beginners, aren't aware of or don't know how to follow. While some rhetorical traditions may not insist so heavily on documenting sources of words, ideas, images, sounds, etc., American academic rhetorical tradition does. (Purdue University students will want to make sure that they are familiar with Purdue's official academic dishonesty policy as well as any additional policies that their instructors have implemented.) Intellectual challenges in American academic writing There are some intellectual challenges that all students are faced with when writing.

A Copyright-Friendly Toolkit
However fabulous Creative Commons and Public Domain content may be, sometimes you really need to use copyrighted material. Say you plan to comment on popular media or current events. For instance, you may be planning to critique the portrayal of Native Americans in commercial films. You are going to want to “quote” some commercial films like Pocahontas, Lone Ranger, and Dances with Wolves. If you are reviewing a book, you may want to share its cover art. You may use copyrighted content without asking permission if you believe that your use falls under the doctrine known as Fair Use. In general, when you transform original content, repurpose it, and add value to it in your own remix, you may be able to claim the use fair. According to American University’s Center for Media and Social Impact, these two tests or questions help you plan whether to use the copyrighted work of others without asking permission: The video below explains why the Code for Fair Use in Online Video was created.
Fair Use Scenarios
The principles and limitations [of Fair Use] are designed to guide your reasoning and to help you guide the reasoning of others. "The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use" Center for Media & Social Impact It's long been my contention that you can't "teach" values. The best someone can do is create situations that help people define or refine their own values derived from information, conversation and reflection. To this end, I've always used "scenarios" anytime I work with others on questions of ethics (and online safety). The quote above from the professors at the Temple University Media Education Lab strikes me as great reason that some new scenarios need to be written that deal with fair use and copyright. Here's what one* might look like: The PTO at Johnson Middle School is creating a "video yearbook" for students and families that document the school year. What do you think? * Links to additional scenarios created
