Q. Why do I need to reference?

Referencing is the literacy which enables learners to acknowledge the work of others, building on their own analysis of existing knowledge. It also enables learners to attribute sources by creating citations and generating accurate bibliographies.

These skills sit within a broad understanding of the legal and ethical context of information and help learners to manage their information and avoid plagiarism.
