Can anyone comment on the ‘portfolios’ by our children? As parents, did you go through the ‘portfolio works’ done by them? Can anyone deny that most are ‘copy and paste’? And yet they go through high scoring. The markers and graders, are... more

This paper explores hyperreal spatial experiences produced through the dialectics of original and copy in terms of object, atmosphere, and public space. It focuses on two collaborative projects by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), namely Danish Expo Pavilion and Superkilen Urban Park; yet begins by unpacking the authenticity of Denmark’s national symbol, the Little Mermaid Statue - a continuous target of vandalism.

The idea of exhibiting academic integrity is not a recent phenomenon when academics and researchers have been expressing fury against any kind of academic theft worldwide. The strolling of internet, since its inception, appeared as the best blessing of all the technological innovations which has created the threat of content theft simultaneously among the faculty members, researchers and students. Research substantiates that students in higher education are mostly keen to copy-paste in written assignments or take-home exams without following proper referencing system. Sometime, students attempt to cite and refer the source of their writings, but they fail to paraphrase or summarize intellectual properties appropriately. In Bangladesh, it is often uttered that most of the higher education students are victim of this ill practice. Idea stealing, improper citation and referencing lead a student to copy-paste and to, somehow, manage a deadline. Creating new knowledge what it is called the purpose of coming to a higher education institution; but is it actually the scenario globally in general and Bangladesh in particular? Easy access to the sources at present, reluctance of students to devote themselves in the challenging mission of creating, lack of authentic and dominant tool to check plagiarism (though some web checkers like turnitin have been contributing a lot) are the main reasons behind this curse of copy-paste. This paper attempts to analyze the present scenario of plagiarism checking practices worldwide, to compare those with that of Bangladesh and to provide future directions for reducing the practices; and thus answering question of the title of this paper.

This study discusses the problem of plagiarism in art learning in online classes. The art class was conducted using the Learning Management System (LMS) and attended by 31 Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) students, and arts department. This research method uses a survey derived from two types of data. The first data was obtained from a questionnaire distributed to 211 art students. Factors that determine copy-paste occur because of the tendency to postpone tasks, so they work at the end of time. The following data comes from the discussion assignment report done by the student. Tasks are scanned online using the application. The results of the analysis of plagiarism showed an average of 49.09%, with a word similarity level of 80.77%. Based on online scan reports, the source of plagiarism comes from the university repository. Students use Open Educational Resource (OER) in the form of dictates as material for doing art lecture assignments. In conclusion, students mistakenly understood the use of OER and digital literacy. Digital-based arts learning does not have a significant impact and requires the provision of academic writing.Keywords: Art Learning, LMS, OER, Digital Literacy, Plagiarism

Authoring mathematical formulæ for ActiveMath is a challenge because it requires them to be semantic, along the OpenMath standard and (extensible) set of symbols. The authoring environment of ActiveMath, jEditOQMath eases this by providing a readable linear syntax for formulæ input based on QMath. This paper approaches the support to authors to encode formulæ by bringing together several types of conversion methods into one smart paste approach. Such sources of formulæ as Wikipedia, and Planet Math are considered and start to work.

Web-plagiarism is like a dangerous virus, affecting high-schools and universities, all over the World. It is also, in the author's opinion, one major risk of the transition from traditional teaching systems to e-learning. This paper analyses Web-plagiarism as a perennial temptation for students, and a continual challenge for teachers, who ask the question: "How could it be detected, and avoided?". This attempt to find the answer to that question is based on the author's teaching experience in Computer Science, giving some examples and discussing methods and a few devoted IT tools for plagiarism detection.

The paper examines patterns of relatedness in exchanges built by the video responses to one of YouTube "Most Responded" videos. The analysis shows the presence of a diversified range of patterns, as a result of the interactants' creative use of the video response option, which affords text-production through copy-and-paste. The results trace a continuum from fully cohesive and coherent exchanges to exchanges presenting no clues of relatedness, with a great variation in-between the two poles. Videos often respond incoherently, disregarding the meaning, diverting from the topic or foregrounding a background element of the video they respond to. In other cases, responses are created through the reuse of previously made texts, so that their recontextualization reconfigures or scatters cohesive ties, producing a marked implicitness in the exchange. Interactants accept (and at times praise) incoherent and non-cohesive semiotic chains thus acknowledging and reinforcing emerging conventions in video-interaction. Interaction through videos seems driven by the participants' interested reinterpretation, transformation, and recontextualization of texts, thus shaping distinctively the requirements for successful communication in the semiotic space.

The paper discusses the effects of copy-and-paste on the rhetoric and politics of communication in digital environments, by examining direct and indirect (mis) quotation and referencing in YouTube video-exchanges and by providing further examples in one-to-one communication via Facebook and email. The forwarding of (snippets of) artefacts in new contexts reshapes patterns of coherence and cohesion, producing intertextuality and implicitness. A rhetoric of the implicit shapes the politics of communication in elitist terms, ...
