Subject: Best teaching practices with plagiarism detection software?
Hello SEDA colleagues,
The SEDA list seems to be on a roll today, so it seems a good time
to pose another question for your collective wisdom!
Our
institution recently subscribed to the US
version of Turnitin, and our office has been asked
to do some research on how lecturers can use it
as a teaching tool, rather than as a
punitive tool. We’ve found some
links to best practices and institutional policies,
such as the ones posted on the JISC website and
on PlagiarismAdvisory.org, and
now we’re looking for lecturers’ experiences
with the software. So our questions are:
1)
What are some best teaching uses of Turnitin that you've encountered? Any
creative uses out there that led to more effective writing or thinking?
Maybe the best language you’ve seen in a syllabus?
2)
Any common mistakes or practices to avoid when using Turnitin?
3)
Has anyone used Turnitin and then decided to STOP using
it? I'd be particularly
interested if an institution had a subscription and then cancelled
it, but it would also be helpful to hear if an individual tried it and
decided not to use it again.
If
you prefer to drop me a
line off-list ([log in to unmask]) I’ll
be happy to post a summary of the pedagogical advice that comes my way.
Thanks
in advance.
All the best,
David Green
