Thanks Lloyd and Bryan. Ta ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lloyd G. Richardson" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 12:08 PM Subject: Re: Dyslexia and Plagiarism A. Last October I attended a JISC conference in London on plagiarism. Amongst other things it was recommended that each HEI devise its own definition of plagiarism and while it was acknowledged that deliberate plagiarism was more serious than the accidental version, both were deemed to be 'crimes'. Some universities allow students to copy from 10 to 20 words without putting them in quotation marks (i.e., without acknowledging their original authorship), while other do not. Thus what amounts to a disciplinary offence at one institute may be perfectly acceptable at another. In light of my own experience dyslexic students are more likely to plagiarise unintentionally.

I am recently be asked to comment about a case of what appears to be unintended aplagiarism committed by a dyslexic student. Would you know of any study about the above subject in HE? Would you, in your professional expierience, consider that dyslexic people are at more risk of plagiarims because of dyslexia than non disabled people?
