Question

Frick (1991) claimed that computers would become so powerful that K-12 educators and students would able to produce their own multimedia and Web-based learning materials. He further predicted that they would just need to take the time required to learn to use the authoring tools and related technologies such as digital cameras and camcorders.

Answer 1

Your anwers refers to a paragraph taken from the Student Version written in 2002 from the text: 'Reestructuring education through technology (1991).

The original text written in 1991 goes like this:

"The technological tools available today for creating computer-based learning materials are incredibly more powerful than those introduced just a few years ago. We can make our own movies with camcorders in our homes; we can publish our own books. Soon teachers and students will be able to use computer-video technology to produce their own learning materials. All it takes is time, know-how, and some funds."

Therefore, this is an example of paraphrasing plagiarism, as it contains the following conditions:

1. It borrows ideas from the original source material
2. It is not word-for-word plagiarism
3. It lacks an in-text citation with original author names and dates and a bibliographical reference

I hope this helps, have a great week!
