<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Our hesitancy to implement any anti-plagiarism software related to HOW it would be used. Effective use of the software requires dedicated time within the courses it is used to address plagiarism
and strong writing in students' own voices. I would be happy to have that full conversation with the interim dean.

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The interim dean at Clark College has been asked about Turnitin.com plagiarism software. I did some research in the LLC wiki archives and found that the last discussion of this
at the LLC was in Spring 2014. At that time the <b><u>System Wide eLearning Initiatives WG</u></b> reported that:

for many schools to pursue (even with bulk consortium purchase). It is a divisive issue on other campuses. Our recommendation is that each school pursue Turnitin independently as desired.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">Our college has asked that we survey others in our system to see if any comparable institutions are using Turnitin and/or have opinions to share about deciding not using it.
Additionally, we are interested if there has been any change in the decision not to pursue a system-wide optional contract for this product or any other plagiarism protection/inspection product. Do any of you have updated information about that?</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

explanatory comment would be appreciated as well.
