Responding to Plagiarism

Theme 1: Assessment for Learning

Brief outline:

This session will look at how what we commonly refer to as plagiarism can, in fact, be the result of several different factors other than the intention to lift someone else's work.  We'll show how to use TURNITIN (a plagiarism detection software) from a new Blackboard interface.

Referring to two different experiences (undergraduate and postgraduate), we'll illustrate how we can put students first and make sure their real intentions, skills and educational needs can be better understood when assessing written work.

We'll give you samples of work and the opportunity to experience TURNITIN personally and to discuss our interpretation of our results and our journey so far.
