It’s not just students…
• Academics, research, authors
• Claiming work as own, or using without appropriate acknowledgement, are forms of plagiarism, academic dishonesty, or (at minimum) ethical lapses
![Page 5: Plagiarism Workshop Noel Raftery 31.01.2008. Acknowledgement This presentation is an edited version of an online presentation by George Siemens, an Instructor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d135503460f949e7eab/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
But…
• This workshop is focusing on plagiarism as an obstacle to “fair and consistent assessment of learners”, a HETAC prerequisite for programme validation (see IT Sligo QA Procedures)
• It applies to learners presenting work for assessment in part or whole fulfillment of the requirements for a course

Some Issues
• How do we define individual contributions when society increasingly values collaborative work efforts?
• Assessment at a higher level– Compile– Analyse– Synthesise– Evaluate

Approaches to dealing with plagiarism
1. Reactive: Detection and disciplinary procedures
2. Proactive: Prevention by redesigning learning activities and assessment model
![Page 10: Plagiarism Workshop Noel Raftery 31.01.2008. Acknowledgement This presentation is an edited version of an online presentation by George Siemens, an Instructor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d135503460f949e7eab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The reactive approach(Detection and disciplinary procedures)
• Detection is never as good as prevention
• Time consumed by disciplinary procedures, etc
• Culture of distrust
• Core problem not addressed: teaching the learner to perform at a higher authentic level
![Page 11: Plagiarism Workshop Noel Raftery 31.01.2008. Acknowledgement This presentation is an edited version of an online presentation by George Siemens, an Instructor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d135503460f949e7eab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The proactive approach(Redesigning learning activities and assessment model)
• Embed plagiarism prevention as strand through all courses and programmes
• Clarify what plagiarism means for learners
• Assist learners in avoiding plagiarism
• Know how to recognise plagiarism

Embed plagiarism prevention as strand through all courses and programmes
• See plagiarism prevention as a learning tool and specify where it is to be covered in syllabus
• Design assignments to minimise risk of plagiarism
• If this is not practical, design assignments to minimise risk of non-detection of plagiarism by lecturer, e.g., incorporate interview
![Page 13: Plagiarism Workshop Noel Raftery 31.01.2008. Acknowledgement This presentation is an edited version of an online presentation by George Siemens, an Instructor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d135503460f949e7eab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Clarify what plagiarism means for learners
• Provide written requirements for each assignment including marking scheme
• Provide detailed written information to students on the procedures, mechanisms and regulations for continuous assessment including plagiarism
![Page 14: Plagiarism Workshop Noel Raftery 31.01.2008. Acknowledgement This presentation is an edited version of an online presentation by George Siemens, an Instructor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649d135503460f949e7eab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Assist learners in avoiding plagiarism
• Define the requirements for quotations and citation in the assignment and specify a style, e.g., the Harvard System
• Incorporate simple examples of citation in the handout and refer learners to more detailed explanations (see link on last slide)
• Explain paraphrasing (see link on last slide)• Explain how to keep track of sources• Ask for outline, draft, and final reports• Detail appropriate collaboration

Know how to recognise plagiarism
• Know your subject area and sources
• Identify inconsistent writing styles in written assignments
• Use Google
• Use Turnitin
