You could even skip the debate and simply concentrate on getting letters to candidates. The key is to act. Concentrate on two or three issues at the most. If you write on twelve topics, you dissipate the effect. Keep the letter short, one page if possible, two at the most. Your lawmakers and their staffs are busy and are not likely to do more than glance at a long letter.

Letter writing is another strategy for influencing candidates. Given that lawmakers and their staffs are busy and not likely to do more than glance at a long letter, Simon (2003) suggests keeping letters focused and short, concentrating on two or three issues at the most. One would expect the same would apply to other forms of writing that candidates might see such as emails and blog contents.

The design team held weekly meetings during the first semester of work. In addition to these meetings, the team members used emails and a listserv for communication. The team eventually created a website hosted by Google to keep track of all of the decisions made during the design process.

One element for describing a design case is outlining the design process and the approach used to document design decisions. For example, the design case associated with the development of an educational game describes weekly team meetings, the technology used for communication between meetings, and exactly how design decisions were documented (Lara, Myers, Frick, Aslan, & Michaelidou, 2010). These types of details would not normally be included in an article reporting on empirical research.

There is a desperate need for theorists and researchers to generate and refine a new breed of learning-focused instructional design theories that help educators and trainers to meet those needs, (i.e., that focus on learning and that foster development of initiative, teamwork, thinking skills, and diversity). The health of instructional-design theory also depends on its ability to involve stakeholders in the design process.

We need theorists and researchers to generate and refine learning-focused instructional design theories. Such theories will help educators and trainers to meet needs that focus on learning and that foster development of initiative, teamwork, thinking skills, and diversity. Instructional-design theory must involve stakeholders in the design process.

The Correct Answer and Explanation is :
Correct Answer for Each Case:
Case 1:
- Answer: Paraphrasing plagiarism
Explanation:
In this case, the student paraphrases the original text but does so in a way that closely mirrors the structure, ideas, and wording of the original passage. Even though the wording is altered, the sentence structure and main ideas are clearly derived from the original source. The failure to sufficiently modify or transform the content, alongside the lack of proper citation for the ideas, makes this paraphrasing plagiarism.
The student has essentially restated the content without enough original interpretation or transformation of the ideas. Additionally, proper citation is provided, but the paraphrasing is too close to the original without contributing significant new insight, which is a characteristic of paraphrasing plagiarism.
Case 2:
- Answer: Paraphrasing plagiarism
Explanation:
In this case, the student has paraphrased the original text, but there is a clear issue of similarity with the original passage. The structure and key details have been maintained, with only minor adjustments made. The citation is correct, but the level of modification is insufficient for the work to be considered an original paraphrase. The student does not sufficiently reword or alter the phrasing of the original passage to qualify as their own work. This is a classic case of paraphrasing plagiarism, as the original ideas and organization are too heavily reliant on the source.
Case 3:
- Answer: Paraphrasing plagiarism
Explanation:
In this case, the student has closely paraphrased the original text, and while there is a proper citation, the student’s work closely mirrors the source’s language and structure. The changes made are not substantial enough to make the work distinct from the original, and the restatement of the ideas is done in a way that closely follows the original structure without offering enough new insight or synthesis. Thus, this is an example of paraphrasing plagiarism, where the student does not sufficiently transform the material in a meaningful way.
