The studies about english learning and technology rarely mention the plagiarism problem. Many studies have said that collaborative learning environments depend on the teacher’s guidance not only to promote the interaction in a web-based area. In this perspective, we wonder why these studies, specially the ones concerned with web-based writing activities, does not make a more profound reflections about plagiarism and how teachers can deal with this serious subject.
