TurnItIn.com: Podcast #23

One of the questions I am asked most often is how do we prevent students from cheating.  Today, Jason and I discuss the use of Turn It In, the anti-plagiarizing giant.

The article, "Anti-Cheating Crusader Vexes Some Professors" is what sparked the conversation.

We also mentioned a companion article, Antiplagiarism Software Takes on the Honor Code.  I briefly mention article about scholarly journals' difficulties because scholars are also engaging in plagiarizing practices, History-Journal Editors Grapple With the Perils of Plagiarism.

This is not a topic that is going to go away any time soon!

On a much more uplifting note:
Women in Higher Education has published my article, "What If Cinderella Were a Professor?" in their March, 2008, edition.  You can currently find the article on the front page their website.
