Summary, paraphrasing and quotations
The three academic processes, namely, summarising, quoting as well as paraphrasing are
quite similar to each other and mostly from the viewpoint that these tools allow an author to
implement the ideas of other different authors in his or her own work. As an impact of using
these tools, the write up is also plagiarism free.
In case of quotations, absolute imitation of the content from the original document is
done from the parent sources. However, the content is preceded and succeeded by an (“)
mark. On the contrary, paraphrasing involves analysis of material from the parent sources and
representing them in the own words of the writer. However, summarising is different from
paraphrasing in a way that the originality of the author is more evident in this case and the
author actually emphasises what the authors of the original content are trying to highlight, in
his or her own voice.
Summary of liberatory education theory in a digital age
In the current education system, there are ample usage of information as well as
communication technologies. The usage of such technological interceptions in the college
classrooms, helps in betterment of the learning experience of the academic scholars. In the
Liberartory Education theory, the same perception is highlighted and explained in the light of
the implementation of computers in the college classrooms and their role in the succinct
promotion of liberation of the students (Lorenzetti, Azulai & Walsh, 2016). There is also the
chance of aggravation of oppression on the students as an impact of this implementation.
Class Work Pedagogy of Oppression is another classic example that argues with the
perception of the Liberatory Theory. The installing of computers in the colleges’ for the use
for the students, is actually a major reinforcement of the ideas that was once critiqued by
Friere, previously. as highlighted by, Miller, Becker and Becker (2016), as an impact of such

implementation, the educators using the computer based pedagogies, assume that the
foundation of education is content in contrast to disruption of knowledge and subsequent
