Grasping the Nettle: Designing assessment to reduce plagiarism
21 May 2008, The Oxford Centre, Oxford
This one day seminar, hosted by the Academy JISC Academic Integrity
Service and the Academy Assessment Team, will focus upon the role of
assessment design in reducing opportunities for student plagiarism and
collusion.
Appropriately designed assessments that cannot be fulfilled by the
submission of cut and paste text from web sources or copied work from
other students are the pedagogical response to current problems of
increasing plagiarism in student work. The emphasis of this seminar is
upon providing delegates with practical advice and guidance on redesigning
assessment that highlights the pitfalls as well as the solutions.
A wide range of experiences will be presented in the sessions, including
keynote presentations from respected authorities in the fields of
plagiarism prevention and assessment design and workshops highlighting
innovative and novel approaches to assessment. Delegates will have an
opportunity to see demonstrations of assessments using innovative
technologies and techniques.
There is a £50 charge for this event. The programme for the day and a
registration form are attached.
