List members may be interested in the following course being offered by the Oxford Brookes Centre for Staff and Learning Development.

Defining, detecting and designing out plagiarism : academic responsibilities in a holistic approach to deterring plagiarism

An online course from the Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development

7 February - 9 March 2007

This intensive introduction aims to give you time and space to explore some of the complex issues around plagiarism within a supported online environment. The course has been designed for teachers and trainers who are newcomers to the field or interested in exploring the ideas behind the headlines often encountered in the academic and popular press concerning student plagiarism.

The course title reflects the holistic approach we plan to encourage.
Often, people come to plagiarism thinking it's a simple matter of telling students they must not do it, or teaching referencing, or purchasing an electronic detection facility. This course will help you to identify ways your own (and possibly your colleagues') practice needs to change to deter students from submitting work that is not their own.

All of our online courses are designed around frequent opportunities for you to interact with others on the course. You will be supported by a series of scheduled tasks, selected key readings, specially developed course resources, and experienced course tutors. The February run of the course will be tutored by Jude Carroll, Jill Pickard and Jenny Moon.

The course costs £245.
