StepAside

i have a comment. let's write a simple little book about intellectual property & word/idea sharing, one that assumes students know, in theory, that people deserve credit for their stuff, they just don't always know how to know whose stuff is whose (& as more and more company- or collaboratively-written web sites pop up that don't attribute words to anybody, who can blame them?) or what to do about it.

we'll call it whose lines are these, anyway? & market it to high schools.

(& the permission-process for appropriating the title will have to be in one of its sections, of course...)

(p.s. i'd underlined that potential title, but the formatting italtics came through & underlines didn't. how odd.)

I like this idea. I'll help.

Yes, but what you're suggesting would require reading and instruction. Institutions like to buy automated packages, such as Turnitin.com, and they like to believe that disabling IM will promote academic integrity. It's so much easier than engaging actual writers in actual pedagogy, dontcha know.
