Did you know? - Chris Jacob. Aus schools to adopt Turnitin
MX Brisbane (Queensland, Australia) July 4, 2007 Wednesday BRIS Edition DID YOU KNOW CHRIS JACOB MX; Pg.15 122 words Australian universities and schools may soon adopt the plagiarism checks the US has been using for some time.
Turnitin.com offers a service that allows professors and teachers to submit student assignments to see how they compare to the hundreds of thousands on the internet that students can buy or download.
It also compares each assignment previously submitted to the software.
On the face of it, this may seem like an ingenious solution to an everincreasing problem across the education system, but a service like turniton.com uses people's work once submitted as a basis of comparison - thus using other people's work without their permission for monetary gain.
