[elearning] The Plagiarism Checker

[Albury, Carolyn]

Thanks for that Roland, I have been using it with my VET-IT class for their first assessment event. Will also use it with my Software Design class as well.......love those tricky boys!!!! :-) 

Could you also send it to Oz-teachers as well.  I'm sure a few of our colleges there would find it useful if they don't know about it already.

Now back to assessment tasks....

Cheers
Carolyn

Reminds me of this great post, it describes how all artists steal from each
other (show this to your students)

http://www.austinkleon.com/2011/03/30/how-to-steal-like-an-artist-and-9-other-things-nobody-told-me

Or this admission that you can get some great stuff, just going through
rubbish bins (show this to your programming students)

I have to agree with Mark, with that amount of checking .. they are probably
synthesising a new idea or have figured out that it is easier to just
contribute something original. It is tough, I had a go with Wikipedia and it
seems to nail down even portions of paragraphs.

Regards Roland
