• Plagiarism is an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization; the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author.
• The Ghost Writer - The writer turns in another's work, word for word, as his or her own
• The Photocopy - The writer copies significant portions of text straight from a single source, without alteration.
• The Potluck Paper - The writer tries to disguise plagiarism by copying from several different sources, tweaking the sentences to make them fit together while retaining most of the original phrasing.
• The Poor Disguise - Although the writer has retained the essential content of the source, he or she has altered the paper's appearance slightly by changing key words and phrases.
• The Labor of Laziness - The writer takes the time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together, instead of spending the same effort on original work.
• The Self-Stealer - The writer 'borrows" generously from his or her previous work, violating policies concerning the expectation of originality adopted by most academic institutions.
• The Forgotten Footnote - The writer mentions an author's name for a source, but neglects to include specific information on the location of the material referenced. This often masks other forms of plagiarism by obscuring source locations.
• Misinformer - The writer provides inaccurate information regarding the sources, making it impossible to find them.
• The Too-perfect Paraphrase - The writer properly cites a source, but neglects to put in quotation marks text that has been copied word-for-word, or close to it. Although attributing the basic ideas to the source, the writer is falsely claiming original presentation and interpretation of the information.
• The Resourceful Citer - The writer properly cites all sources, paraphrasing and using quotations appropriately. The catch? The paper contains almost no original work! It is sometimes difficult to spot this form of plagiarism because it looks like any other well research document.
• The Perfect Crime - The writer properly quotes and cites sources in some places, but goes on to paraphrase other arguments from those sources without citation. This way, the writer tries to pass off the paraphrased material as his or her own analysis of the cited material
• Cyber Bullying takes place online by using electronic technology such as cell phones, computers and tablets over communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat and websites.
• Computer addiction is the excessive use of computers to the extent that it interferes with daily life. This excessive use may, for example, interfere with work or sleep, resulting in problems with social interaction or affect mood, relationships and thought processes.
• Digital divide is an economic inequality between groups in terms of access to, use of, or knowledge of ICT. The divide within countries (such as the digital divide in the United States) can refer to inequalities between individuals, households, businesses, and geographic areas at different socioeconomic (and other demographic) levels.
