I wanted to find a Web 2.0 tool that would help me with my master’s program and I think I have found it. Wepapers claims to be the largest study group. WePapers is a place where students and everybody can expand their knowledge and share their wisdom, for free. It’s good to know that you are not alone in the struggle. This tool is going to make my educational experience a whole lot easier. With this tool you are able to find, read, print and download tons of quality documents, exam and textbook solutions and cheat-sheets for anything you study in college or university. You can store all your papers, exams, lecture notes and research work in one place, and get organized. You have use of all your information 24 hours a day 7 days a week from all over the world. This tool is amazing. It covers over 30 subjects and other subcategories. Language is not a barrier for this tool. It include over 13 languages. Whatever your research and writing needs are, this tool has it. Writing is a real challenge for me because the ideas are there but I cannot seem to get them on paper. This tool can give you tips and you can view documents similar to your work and get help. The best part is this is a community of learners helping one another. You share ideas, work, and suggestion. Building friendship and bond that will last a lifetime. “Whether to help you graduate with honors or just win an argument, WePapers to help make you smarter, much smarter.”(wePapers 2010)

As a media person, this looks a little scary. What about academic professionalism? My problem is the fact that other people's papers and work may be available to you. There is enough problems with students copying and pasting off of the internet without a tool such as this. this seems to be a way to copy and paste other's works. I don't think that I would use something like this.
ReplyDeleteLike any phenomenon we don't know enough about, a little trepidation may ensue. The key is to remember we have a choice. This site could be a valuable starting point in researching or simply learning more about anything. It is up to the individual to chose whether or not to plagiarize original work and whether he can afford to pay the consequences when caught. It is also up to the reader, whether the educator or researcher to critically look at his sources to evaluate the validity of the source. WePapers started as a blog in 2008. The editors at Rev2.org, http://www.rev2.org/2008/11/30/wepapers-expanding-your-knowledge-or-cheating/ are asking the same questions.
