The Electronic Portfolio - A Timesaving Solution to Plagiarism That Puts the Accent on Learning
Published March 25, 2008
One of the most effective strategies for preventing plagiarism is to track student work by taking into account the steps that lead to the final work. This way of proceeding makes it possible to follow the student's approach and is likely to discourage the plagiarist who would like to get away with work already completed in advance. This is what the portfolio approach proposes.

Create a list of data
Published April 9, 2015
The spreadsheet provides several tools for managing a database. It allows you to enter, edit and retrieve data but also quickly find the ones you need. Data entry and search for these data are the topics covered in this capsule.
Add pictures, tables and graphics
Published April 9, 2015
To avoid overloading a slide with text, you can easily add objects such as images, tables, or graphics. In this demonstration, we use the 2010 version of PowerPoint. Some presentation software differs somewhat from this version and does not necessarily include an image bank.
Format cells
Published April 9, 2015
When using a spreadsheet, it may be necessary, but also very useful, to format cells to bring out the information they contain. This is the purpose of this demonstration. To illustrate this example, we use the Excel 2010 version. You will see that the shape of some spreadsheets may differ from one software to another. On the other hand, the software still remains quite similar.

Description of Skill 3 – Present Information

Many academic assignments require activities where students are asked to present information: they share their research results, their projects’ progress, their creations or results of their work, using a variety of tools that are both pertinent and stimulating.

This task supports students in completing their assignment. This proposed approach is generic and is presented in four steps: planning the presentation, carrying out its production, highlighting and transmission of the information. This applies to all types of presentations, whether an assignment done with a word processor, a slide show, a video or audio clip, an online publication or image or any other type of presentation, the steps are the same for all.
