Developing and disseminating learning resources
“Students are instructed not to duplicate material in classes, but they know that their instructors recycle teaching materials. In some cases the materials of other instructors are used. Even where permission has been obtained, acknowledgement is not made transparent to students. Lectures are by far the most common academic environment experienced by students, but instructors rarely present a robust model of academic attribution in teaching.” (p.274)
