PlagiarismAdvice.org aims to showcase innovative approaches to addressing plagiarism and best practice from members of the academic community. Following a call for content earlier in the year several new articles have been added to the Community best practice section of the website reflecting approaches to promoting original work from students. Resources include details of various interventions to develop student awareness of good academic practice and the value of original work, effectiveness of institutional policies on plagiarism and using Turnitin and treatment of academic misconduct on professional programmes. Additionally video resources demonstrate staff and student experiences of using Turnitin’s GradeMark and PeerMark tools to provide enhanced learning and feedback possibilities.
