Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.56 Technology & Collaboration skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student is writing a multimodal article that includes a map image. The map is from a government site and is free to use with attribution.

What is the BEST way to publish ethically?

AUse the map with no credit

BProvide a caption crediting the government source, link to the page, and include it in the references if required

CCrop out all labels

DClaim the map is original

Solution & Explanation:Even when use is allowed, attribution is required. A caption and link (plus references if needed) gives proper credit and helps readers verify.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A group is working on a shared doc. The teacher sees that one student keeps restoring older versions, causing newer work to disappear.

Which solution BEST prevents repeated losses while keeping version control?

ATurn off version history

BUse version history carefully: restore by copying needed text forward, communicate in comments before reverting, and create named versions at major milestones

CDelete the student’s account

DStop collaborating digitally

Solution & Explanation:Version history should be used with communication and checkpoints (named versions). Copying needed parts forward avoids wiping out others’ recent work.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A group is drafting and notices that some sources contradict each other. One student suggests deleting the conflicting source so the paper is simpler.

Which approach BEST reflects strong research writing with digital tools?

ADelete any source that disagrees

BKeep only the source that sounds most confident

CUse comments to flag the conflict, evaluate credibility, and revise the writing to acknowledge differences (with citations for each source)

DRemove all citations

Solution & Explanation:Strong writing can acknowledge differing evidence. Using comments to track decisions and citing each source supports accuracy and transparency.
