Supporting Teaching with TurnItIn.com

Friday, May 26, 2006 from 08:30 AM to 11:30 AM (Kent Library Little Theatre).
Facilitated by Mike Rodgers and Karl Suhr

Turnitin is a Web-based utility that helps faculty and students assess the originality of student work. Upon submission of a paper, Turnitin compares the work with other works present on the Internet and in several large databases. The result is an "originality report" that rates the originality as a percentage, and, where there is a match to earlier work, provides references to the source(s).

In this session, we will explore how Turnitin works how it can be implemented in a course how it can be used interactively with students to emphasize and illustrate concepts of intellectual property and academic honesty. Useful Links Google Turnitin Home
