[LIBRARYDIR] Plagiarism Tools

[Potter-Henderson, Leslie]

Hi All,

Shoreline does not use a plagiarism tool. It would really be a faculty call to purchase and implement.

The App store team is aware of the interest in Plagiarism Tools.  They've got a long list of items they would love to add the site.

See you all soon, Leslie

Hi Heath,
BTC does not subscribe to a plagiarism checker. There has been some recent interest in Turnitin, but so far it doesn't look like anyone wants to pay for the service. I wonder if the SBCTC Ed Tech & Open is or would consider adding academic honesty tool contracts to its App Store Commons. We could mention it to Mark Jenkins.

Hello!

We are evaluating our plagiarism tool at Bellevue College. We were using Vericite (now Turnitin) and are now using the in-Canvas tool SimCheck. This tool is very expensive to maintain annually (~$15K) and we would like to start the conversation of dropping the plagiarism tool altogether. When I was with LWTech we did not have a plagiarism checker and used freely available tools.

Do any of you use plagiarism tools (standalone and/or available through Canvas)? Which tool(s) are you using?

Thanks in advance!
