Really useful blog post here on the trouble teachers feel trying to reconcile the concepts of ‘collaboration’ and ‘plagiarism’ – when does sharing become cheating?
The post picks up on some of the ideas I reflected on here in a previous blog post/reflection on a collaboration podcast I had listened to.
I agree with the author, Jennifer Carey, that we need to come back to the activity at hand. If learning is key, then collaboration contributes to this. If assessment is key, then collaboration is cheating. We must reflect carefully on the questions we pose and hold as central that the purpose of any task is to promote learning.
