Plagiarism, Licensing, and the Proper Use of Digital Textbooks 248 Chapter 12 Plagiarism, Licensing, and the Proper Use of Digital Textbooks ABSTRACT This chapter explores ways to avoid plagiarism in digital textbooks’ use and development. Traditionally, the plagiarism recommendation refers to books and articles. How about textbooks? However, to avoid plagiarism it is important to make sure that licensing in digital textbooks’ use and development is prop- erly used. For licensing to be a benefit for learning, it is important to note that it may impose additional costs. This chapter reflects and includes in discussion the issue on licensing, specifically the Creative Common (CC) license of open educational resources. Secondly, it considers how the Creative Common License could improve the proper use of digital textbooks. Finally, it explores how the use of digital tools can allow students to learn more effectively. INTRODUCTION There are many types of plagiarism.

  • Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism: the WPA Statement on Best Practices Council of Writing Program Administrators ( January 2003
    Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism: The WPA Statement on Best Practices Council of Writing Program Administrators (http://www.wpacouncil.org), January 2003. Plagiarism has always concerned teachers and administrators, who want students’ work to represent their own efforts and to reflect the outcomes of their learning. However, with the advent of the Internet and easy access to almost limitless written material on every conceivable topic, suspicion of student plagiarism has begun to affect teachers at all levels, at times diverting them from the work of developing students’ writing, reading, and critical thinking abilities. This statement responds to the growing educational concerns about plagiarism in four ways: by defining plagiarism; by suggesting some of the causes of plagiarism; by proposing a set of responsibilities (for students, teachers, and administrators) to address the problem of plagiarism; and by recommending a set of practices for teaching and learning that can significantly reduce the likelihood of plagiarism. The statement is intended to provide helpful suggestions and clarifications so that instructors, administrators, and students can work together more effectively in support of excellence in teaching and learning. What Is Plagiarism? In instructional settings, plagiarism is a multifaceted and ethically complex problem. However, if any definition of plagiarism is to be helpful to administrators, faculty, and students, it needs to be as simple and direct as possible within the context for which it is intended. Definition: In an instructional setting, plagiarism occurs when a writer deliberately uses someone else’s language, ideas, or other original (not common-knowledge) material without acknowledging its source. This definition applies to texts published in print or on-line, to manuscripts, and to the work of other student writers.

This course serves as an introduction to narrative forms, as well as a critical exploration of the potentialnarratology of —the theory of narrative—to analyze stories of ineffable experiences. How do narratives convey elusive existential and spiritual concepts? Are there shared formal and procedural traits of such narratives? In this class, we will learn the foundations of narratology, so as critically analyze how different narrative media (literature, visual culture, film, etc.) represent intense but seemingly incommunicable human experiences. These stories will serve as a vehicle to explore the limits of storytelling and to analyze narrative strategies at those limits. Students will also experiment with different forms of narrative through creative activities. Please note: this is not a course in religion or religious art history.

Conducting research on her work entailed tolerat- ing the eyestrain brought on by microfilm and barely legible photo- copies of the Colored American Magazine. I also vividly remember the appearance of the 1978 reprint edition of her novel Contending Forces (1900) in Southern Illinois University Press’s Lost American Fiction series. I experienced both gratification at the long-overdue attention the novel was garnering and also no little distress upon reading Gwendolyn Brooks’s afterword to the text. While acknowl- edging our “inevitable indebtedness” to Hopkins, Brooks renders this brutal judgment: “Often doth the brainwashed slave revere the modes and idolatries of the master. And Pauline Hopkins consis- tently proves herself a continuing slave, despite little bursts of righ- teous heat, throughout Contending Forces” (409, 404–405). This view of the novel as a limited, compromised achievement reflects the all-too-common lack at the time of a nuanced, informed engage- ment with much post-Reconstruction African American literature broadly and with that produced by African American women in particular.

  • Pastiche and Parody As a Post- Modernist Form of Cultural Identity
    Classical Art with Chinese Characteristics: Pastiche and Parody as a Post- Modernist Form of Cultural Identity Hannah Kirk Yenching Academy, Peking University June 2019 Introduction Pastiche has held a long-lasting presence in the artistic process. For centuries and across cultures, masters have copied the techniques and shared the subject matter eternalised by their predecessors. Most definitions of pastiche are synonymous with this process of copying in varying degrees of approval, ranging from accusations of near plagiarism to more sympathetic understanding of added creativity in layers above the original. This essay considers the definitional scope of pastiche as a foundation to its treatment as a legitimate post-modernist art form. The Jamesonian ‘blank’ and ‘blind’ pastiche where overlapping symbolism across eras or cultures renders all lost in meaning is contrasted against the ‘Hutcheonian transcontextual parody’ whereby the artist conveys precise meaning through the transplanted historical and cultural narrative. The suitability of such a definition for the Chinese context is considered in the past but also the present. Choice of artistic form reflects on the question of how best to portray cultural identity and I argue this art form has unique high-level interpretability by layering political and social comment between Western and Eastern artistic ideals, now and across time. As such, China’s modernity is painted amidst a complex maze of historical references, forms and ubiquitously recognisable imagery. In order to clarify the precise and poignant purpose of parody for modern Chinese artists, three examples will be presented in the form of two case studies and one comparative study across renditions of the same painting ‘The Last Supper’.

  • Back-Translation: the Latest Form of Plagiarism
    Back-translation: the latest form of plagiarism Michael Jones University of Wollongong, Australia Abstract This paper addresses the continuing problem of plagiarism which, as a form of academic misconduct, has plagued pedagogy for generations. Little has changed in the way students employ the various methods of plagiarism, until now. Traditionally detection technologies have kept pace with the technologies students use to cheat. However, the technologies students can harness to assist them in plagiarising have now leapt forward another generation, making the detection of plagiarism very difficult to detect. Further, it seems unlikely that technology can advance to a state sufficient to bridge the gap. This new method of plagiarism utilises the intercultural technique of back-translation. This is where a passage of text is taken, verbatim, and translated to a foreign language, French for instance. It is then re-translated back into English using the same technique. Through a discussion of how students use translation technologies to change and conceal their copied text, the paper exposes back-translation as a method of plagiarising and concealing it. The paper concludes with a discussion on methods that teachers could adopt for reducing the potential of back-translation misuse. These methods include: use of current materials, writing up in class, and tighter control over resources. Key Ideas • Students can and do use more advanced methods of cheating to avoid modern plagiarism detection. • New technologies are permitting students to cut and paste whole sections of text without the necessity of citing. • Enhanced awareness by academics is needed to catch these instances of plagiarism. Discussion Question 1 How can back-translation be detected in student submissions? Discussion Question 2 How advanced/large is the problem?

  • Sexuality, Textuality: the Cultural Work of Plagiarism
    MAR-CE.QXD 1/20/00 9:12 AM Page 473 473 Sexuality, Textuality: The Cultural Work of Plagiarism Rebecca Moore Howard I never saw a purple cow; I never hope to see one. But I can tell you anyhow I’d rather see than be one. —Gelett F. Burgess few years ago, The Council Chronicle, a periodical that comes shrink-wrapped with subscription issues of College English, asked readers, “We Want to Know: A How Do You Define Plagiarism?” A provocative question, it would seem— one that would certainly interest teachers of English, people who “have to deal with” plagiarism from time to time. Two subsequent issues published a variety of definitions of plagiarism (see “Plagiarism in the Classroom” and “What Do You Do”). No consensus was reached, but readers were undoubtedly interested and stim- ulated by the conversation. All over the country, meanwhile, students were and still are being upbraided, reprimanded, given F’s on papers, flunked in courses, and expelled from universities for doing this plagiarism thing, this indefinable thing. The jarring disjunction of these combined scenarios—teachers unable to define a term on the basis of which they are punishing students—suggests that something far more complex than a not yet defined term is at stake. If the term were definable, surely that work would by now have been accomplished. But if the term is inherently indefinable, how is it that the academy still manages to use it as the basis for serious legislation and adjudication?

  • Gerard Genette and the Categorization of Textual Transcendence
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 6 No 5 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy September 2015 Gerard Genette and the Categorization of Textual Transcendence Sayyed Ali Mirenayat PhD candidate in English Literature, Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication, Universiti Putra Malaysia Elaheh Soofastaei PhD candidate in English Literature, Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication, Universiti Putra Malaysia [email protected], [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n5p533 Abstract A text relation with other texts has been a significant subject, which attracted the consideration of researchers, such as Julia Kristeva, Roland Barthes and etc. within Structuralism and Post-Structuralism. Gerard Genette, a French literary theorist, is one of the researchers who define “transtextuality” as a theory which is used when we are not sure about the interpretation of one text that we are reading. His theory describes the different methods in later text which motivates us to read an earlier one. This is the important reason that I have decided to look at his different methods. Genette broadens the study area of Julia Kristeva about “intertextuality” as a theory pointing to relation between various texts. He defines five categories of transtextuality, including intertextuality, paratextuality, metatextuality, architextuality, and hypertextuality, which this paper will explore them as Genette’s textual transcendence. Keywords: Transtextuality, Intertextuality, Paratextuality, Metatextuality, Architextuality, Hypertextuality, Hypotextuality 1. Introduction A text is … a multidimensional space in which a variety of writings, none of them original, blend and clash. The text is a tissue of quotations … The writer can only imitate a gesture that is always anterior, never original.
