Question

Original Source Material:

The technological tools available today for creating computer-based learning materials are incredibly more powerful than those introduced just a few years ago. We can make our own movies with camcorders in our homes; we can publish our own books. Soon teachers and students will be able to use computer-video technology to produce their own learning materials. All it takes is time, know-how, and some funds.

c. This is not plagiarism

Plagiarism is when you use a persons thoughts or ideas without citing them duely as the original source

There are two kinds of plagiarism.

-word-for-word

-paraphrasing

This is not plagiarism because the student's version is a paraphrase of the original source and then he/she went on to cite the original source. Although the student is using his/her own explanation, but the main source was referenced.
