Dear Panos and all,
On our programme we are not using any tools to uncover cheating.
The programme is changing its assessment structure, which will make it more difficult to have ghost writing. And a colleague and I have developed a workshop to encourage academic integrity. Our thoughts are that we need to explain and explore the relevance of integrity and therefore stop cheating behaviours like that.
We are further developing this workshop and teaching module to improve that.
With kind regards
Nicole

Subject: Ghost Writing
Dear colleagues,
I am writing, again, from down under to seek your advice. We are using TurntitIn to support our text matching cases (which is used to identify plagiarism). However, we are receiving more and more cases that are about Ghost Writing. Apart from the expert eyes of linguists who can assist in some extreme cases, are there any other tools that you may be using to assist with such cases? Are you using for example any text analysis tools (e.g. Lexalytics). Or is there anything else to which you can point me?
with warm wishes from a still warm Sydney
