Abstract

Computation Theory and Mathematics Software collusion academic institutions
This paper describes the development, implementation and evaluation of software designed to detect collusion and plagiarism in academic institutions. The software allows for inter-class and inter-semester comparisons with the added advantage of having an "in house" database of assignments over time. Students and staff at the institution where the software was tested were happy with its use. Advantages in the use of the software included significant time savings for staff over the previous methods of detection and a more objective method of analysis. Students considered that the software was fair and provided a level playing field for all concerned.
