Hi Maha, I just sent you and Jim a couple of tweets about an #infolit tutorial that addresses plagiarism in a non-punitive way. The Claremont Colleges tutorial on “Exploring Academic Integrity” is at http://libraries.claremont.edu/achontutorial/pages/index.html and has a CC license for reuse.
Two of its creators, Char Booth and Dani Brecher Cook, talk about the process and motivation for creating the tutorial at http://acrl.ala.org/IS/instruction-tools-resources-2/pedagogy/primo-peer-reviewed-instruction-materials-online/primo-site-of-the-month/april-2016-site-of-the-month/ I love this passage from their interview:
“We also discussed the importance of respecting our students’ intelligence, and totally avoiding the trap of treating them as though they were errant, academically dishonest children. Through these conversations, we elected to focus the tutorial on a message of “scholarship as conversation” as opposed to one of “don’t plagiarize.” We did this for two main reasons: 1) we thought students would respond better to a positively framed approach to academic honesty, and 2) students have been hearing “don’t plagiarize” since high school,and if the message hasn’t sunk in by now, it probably never will.”
That’s wonderful Lisa. In Egypt most kids don’t hear about plagiarism til college but i think the approach you are referring to is definitely better as it respects students and builds morality
