Verify the source of your information. If it‘s coming from a reliable institution or person of international repute, the
information is more likely to be genuine and correct. If the academic materials you are downloading come from a
university or another educational institution, it is more like to be genuine than that coming from an individual.
Always avoid websites that are doubtful.
Assuming that you have accessed correct and desirable information, how should you use them?
Downloaded materials need to be used elegantly. Do not insert verbatim copies or slightly modified copies of
materials in your report or projects. This will be considered as plagiarism or academic dishonesty, and you run the
risk of having a fail grade. Plagiarism software such as TurnitIn or Viper are available for verifying whether you are
the author of the work you have presented. It is highly unethical to present the work of others in your own name,
unless you include the references of the materials used. There are a couple of referencing styles, one of which is
known as the Harvard style of referencing. Please read about it on the web. Even pictures, videos, music and other
materials cannot be used unless you properly reference them.
Another problem associated with copying materials from the Internet is that there is high chance that you don‘t read
the materials completely, and thus do not know the full content. If you are questioned on the content, you may not
be able to provide any plausible response. It would have been much better that you read the whole content, and
transcribed it in your own language. You would be achieving two objectives at one go. One is to avoid the
plagiarism trap, and second you will remember the content of your report.
Another use of Internet in Education is the offering of online courses. Today we are witnessing the delivery of more
and more online courses by institutions world-wide. Every day we are being solicited by such mails, which at times
are very tempting. Be aware that there are many bogus universities offering courses in many areas and at many
levels, even up to PhD level, on the Internet. These seem very often as easy ways for getting qualified. BE
CAREFUL. Not all courses can be followed online, and not all such courses are recognized. You should know that
there is a regulatory body in Mauritius which is mandated by law to recognize all such qualifications. Do not embark
in such ventures unless you have requested the advice of the Tertiary Education Commission.
