technology to help address plagiarism and promote correct attribution of
sources. The service provides sector-wide guidance to HE, FE and Awarding
Bodies on issues relating to plagiarism and technology. The service also

What we can do for you
Promoting best practice in the sector
The service disseminates a wide range of resources via the service website
highlighting best practice in relation to use of the Internet and
associated technology to help address plagiarism and promote an
understanding of the need for appropriate attribution of all sources,
including those available electronically. The plagiarism discussion forum
also encourages a lively debate on the topic amongst members of the
academic community, and active participation from practitioners is
encouraged via submission of case studies and briefing papers which serve
to extend a growing evidence base on the subject.
Conference
The biennial international plagiarism conference, run by the service
attracts delegates from all areas of the education sector, and encourages
debate and sharing of innovative practices in the ethical use of technology
in teaching and learning, and in addressing issues of originality.
Workshops
We provide face to face training and awareness sessions, along with video
resources which highlight the impact of technology on plagiarism, and
promote resources and techniques to encourage correct attribution of
sources.
Helpdesk
We maintain an email and telephone enquiry service with an initial response
guaranteed within 24 hours on all aspects of our work.
User group
TurnitinUK® is used by 90% of Universities in the UK and an active
community of practice meets annually to share best practice its use and
implementation, and influences future development of the software. Feedback
from the user group is also encouraged via a dedicated forum.
