EdTech: Dealing with plagiarism
Plagiarism is wholly unacceptable in an educational context. When carried out with the intention to pass the work of others off as your own it is fraudulent; when done without that intent it is lazy or negligent. This module looks at how to ensure that learners understand the boundary between acceptable quotation/citation and plagiarism and are aware of the consequences. It also looks at how robust detection and prevention processes can be adopted and shared across the organisation.
This module will help you to support and guide other practitioners in helping their learners avoid plagiarism.
Aim
Addressing the issue of plagiarism
Objective
After completing this module you will:
- Be able to advise and guide learners and fellow practitioners on avoiding plagiarism and associated practices

very useful tool TURNITIN to use
Experiencing plagiarism is a stressful experience as you need to show where you found it and speak with the student who will have more consequences. It will be quite disappointing.
We currently use Turnitin with students and work being handed in for assignments, it is a great way for them to understand what plagiarism is all about.
It is a very important issue and good module to study and be aware about plagiarism rules.
After completing earlier modules this unit now makes more sense because I started with this unit and did not understand how to work with the units.
Good activity linking with creative commons.
Informative.
Like the tools that are out there, a lot of institutions will not purchase these, but good to know they exist
Completed
Short but sweet, covers the basics nicely.
ESOL students need to appreciate the gravity of simply copying and pasting.
It has taken me ages to work out how to complete the unit, as it doesn't give the option when using Chrome. I found the unit to be a little basic, and it didn't real offer any new information.
Really... This is lower than level 1. Some of the content is subjective, my opinion is that it is easier to plagiarise with digital technologies and it has actually made it harder to detect. I generally spot stuff that turn it in misses. However Turn it in is a good starting point.
New material.
Good module, nothing I didn't know before
One of the ways in which teachers can help their students avoid plagiarism is to lead by example. So often teachers fail to provide references for quotes or images in their class presentations.
Straightforward enough, but again some good links. The 'Creative Commons' website and concept is very interesting..but surprisingly not that user-friendly to use at first. Worth persevering with.
