PlagiarWISe: Teaching students the benefits of avoiding plagiarism
Wednesday 26th April 2017 12:30pm – 1:30pm
Julie Robinson - Julie is the Academic Services Development Manager for the Library.
The PlagiarWISe tutorial started life as a smallscale project developed by Julie for LDC’s Postgraduate Award in Technology Enhanced Learning, but the further her research progressed, the more apparent the need for improved support in this area became and the larger the project grew. In this session, Julie will be talking about the challenges that this expansion of the original proposal has brought, report on the current status of the project and outline the ways in which the resulting suite of resources can be used by academic staff to help their students better understand the issues around plagiarism and referencing.
Lunch will be provided.
