  1. policy and procedures:‘What should we do about this plagiarism business?’ Jude Carroll for JISC March 2012

  2. One Big Lesson for me Plagiarism is a complex issue It’s about learning We can do something about it … but only if we take a learning-based, collaborative, holistic approach. ….. but people want to treat it as simplistic. …. but people use many different ‘lenses’ to characterise it …. but our efforts are often not recognised ….. institutional change is tough!

  3. Lessons which surprised me Policies do matter Procedures matter deep knowledge & ‘The Big Picture’– then work at the right level Data is your best friend for making changes happen

  4. Discovery: teachers on their own cannot do it telling is not enough • programme-level approach • targeting specific groups for additional support, additional teaching • Some educationally mobile students writing in English probably need very targeted help, early and often. • Early diagnostics and referral (‘You need help…. you might….. you probably don’t’)

  5. Policy Works, by Erica Morris with Jude Carroll (2011)http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/detail/academicintegrity/policy_works • cross-institutional group or committee • Variety of mechanisms to inform and educate • central web area for info & guidance • strategies for staff engagement and development. • statements on values of scholarship, academic integrity and honesty. • responsibilities of the institution, staff, and students • procedures for handling cases, establishing seriousness • penalties + guidance on which are appropriate, fair and proportionate. • centralized system to record and monitor cases

  6. How does your policy compare? . In fours What have you currently got? Strengths and gaps? Matching to policy works?
