I like how you have teased out some of the specific details of plagiarism for which many students have questions, e.g., common knowledge or properly citing when quoting.
Technical Remarks:
The first page says "short" quiz but I don't know how that quantifies. As I move through the quiz I would like to be able to see at a glance how far along I have come. Also, students usually want to know how they did at the end (even though the can't finish without getting it right).
Time spent
reviewing site: about 20 min.

This learning object provides a simple test on how to determine if a student's work is plagairzed. Of particular use to students will be the pop-up options giving a further explanation of why a statement is or is not considered plagarized.
