As we see an increase in the development and use of AI writing tools, there will probably be an increase in questions about copyright and plagiarism. In fact, that was a topic of discussion in a recent episode of Two Ed Tech Guys Take Questions. If this is an issue of concern for you, you may want to take a look at Common Craft’s explanation of plagiarism.
Plagiarism Explained by Common Craft does a great job explaining what plagiarism is and how to avoid unintentionally plagiarizing a work. The video includes an example of citing information that many students might not think they would need to cite.
Common Craft’s video is a great introduction to bigger lessons about plagiarism and copyright. Purdue OWL has some materials that make fantastic companions to Common Craft’s video. Those materials include the “Should I Cite This?” poster and Best Practices to Avoid Plagiarism.
Disclosure: I have a long-standing, in-kind relationship with Common Craft.
