=Course documentation provides students with guidance on intellectual property and plagiarism issues. =

Evidence
Intellectual property and its fair use is summarized in the e-learning context by Waterhouse & Rogers (2004). They note that copyright law, fair use guidelines and associated Acts are ‘not infrequently misunderstood by students and sometimes by e-learning instructors’ (p.8).

A code of conduct policy should address cheating and plagiarism (Waterhouse & Rogers 2004).

Explicit guidance and support should be provided to staff and students with policies and examples on intellectual property aspects, particularly copyright and plagiarism.
