Instructors may use this e-learning object as a pre-class activity, or resource to sensibilise students to what constitutes improper citation and paraphrasing and the potential consequences. While it can be used as a stand-alone learning tool, in combination with other SMU learning tools on the subject (e.g. the library’s resources), it can also be used as an interactive pedagogical tool that can be integrated as a graded assessment preparation in any regular SMU course requiring the submission of written assignments.
