3rd International Plagiarism Conference

"Transforming practice for an authentic future"

23-25 June, 2008. Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne

 

Issues of authenticity and plagiarism continue to be of concern in the education sector.

Addressing these issues across the sector can result in changes to practice and the existing academic culture; from the way in which learners are assessed, to the techniques and methods employed in selecting and using sources of information. Equally technology is frequently viewed as a key driver for this change.

The transition from compulsory secondary education to non-compulsory further or higher education also presents a significant challenge, both for learners and educators, who often are faced with acknowledging and reconciling divergent academic practices and experiences.

However through incremental changes to academic practice we are beginning to see the gradual emergence of a more robust and transparent approach to assuring authenticity in assessed work. 

As we develop these approaches the sophistication of digital technology increases just as rapidly. Access to the vast array of information via the Internet is maturing with the emergence of web 2.0 and a host of other technologies for organising, summarising and tagging content. Whilst such technology presents an incredible opportunity for lifelong learning, often the skills learners use to access information outstrip their ability to discern authoritative content. Certainly their ability to use and acknowledge digital sources ethically is far less advanced. Therefore the early development of basic information handling skills is essential in the digital economy.

The 'Transforming practice' conference examines the challenges facing institutions as they evolve solutions to the issue of ensuring authenticity in learners' work from secondary through to higher education, and how emerging best practice can inform all sectors. 

The conference will seek to address the following key questions:

*         Are issues of authenticity and plagiarism destroying or requiring us to rethink traditional beliefs about the educational experience?

*         Should we address such issues earlier in the educational process, and what impact does this have on the14-19 agenda?

*         Is the growing business in student support sites a valid ťor an exploitative response to a traditional education system trying to cope with a changing pedagogical and technical landscape?

*         Are we moving fast enough to keep up with this rate of change?

Key note speakers, who will be announced shortly, will seek to stimulate this debate. 

The need for a cross-sectoral approach is reflected in the joint sponsorship of the conference by the Qualifications and Curriculum Agency (QCA) and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). 

Papers are therefore invited from the academic community on the following broad themes. Digital sources and their ethical use. Workshop presentations and poster submissions are also sought. All papers will be refereed and provided to delegates in electronic format. 

*         Digital sources and their ethical use.

*         Engaging learners and educators in the process of addressing plagiarism.

*         Addressing plagiarism in web 2.0 and emerging technologies.

*         Subject specific perspectives on plagiarism.
