This module, Ducks Have Integrity: Academic Conduct at UO, is a part of IntroDUCKtion for all incoming first-years and transfer students at the University of Oregon. Module content is based on current research around why students engage in academic misconduct and what strategies have effectively increased academic integrity (we were particularly informed by The Handbook for Academic Integrity, edited by Tracy Bretag).

The module was developed in collaboration between UO Libraries, the Teaching Engagement Program, and UO Online, and in consultation with Student Conduct and Community Standards. We are grateful to the instructors who shared their experiences and challenges, as this informed the design, and those students who gave feedback, as that feedback was invaluable.

This module was not designed for use in individual classes at the University of Oregon, but rather for all students to go through as part of their new student experience. Response from students so far on the module has been overwhelmingly positive (we sought anonymous feedback from participants), and student reflections about why academic integrity matters and how they can plan for it are insightful and heartening. We encourage other institutions to adapt the module for similar new student experiences.

This course is an intensive introduction to the U.S. law of intellectual property with major emphasis on patents, including what can be patented, the process of patent application, and the remedies for patent infringement.

This presentation teaches students about the different types of plagiarism and how to avoid plagiarizing borrowed materials.

This module discusses the issue of plagiarism and introduces citations, both the mechanics and the reasons why we use citations in the first place.

This is a prezi that you can copy and tailor to your history course. You could tailor it to any course, if you remove the references to history.

This tutorial is designed to challenge your understanding of plagiarism and the ethical use of sources in academic writing. You will see ten samples of source material and ten corresponding examples of student writing. It is up to you to determine if the student has used each source responsibly.

At the end of this exercise, you will be asked to list three best practices for using sources responsibly. These rules and your results can be shared with your professor.

This little booklet, put together based on experience, can be a helpful guide to students to avoid potential traps around plagiarism and paraphrasing - after all, plagiarism needs not be deliberate and more often results from a lack of knowledge than from an intention to cheat. Although the topic of plagiarism should be standard material for every beginning student as one of the key competences all students should possess, I noticed that far from all students have ever seriously thought about, or actually learned about, the concept. The booklet does not provide you with a detailed account of plagiarism definitions, nor with lengthy elaborations on the ethical or moral considerations behind the concept. Instead, the aim is to provide students (as well as fellow teachers) hands-on insights into what plagiarism is, how it can be traced and how it can be avoided.

This module is for lessons on plagiarism and academic integrity. International students learning in the U.S. tend to struggle both with the concept of plagiarism and the proper execution of citations and giving credit to their sources. Therefore, in INTO Mason's graduate transition courses, we spend one or two weeks on the concept of plagiarism and academic integrity with an Academic Integrity Research Paper as the assessment. Created by Steven Harris-Scott, Ph.D., and Amy Lewis, Ed.D., for INTO George Mason University with support from Mason 4-VA.

The audio narrated and interactive tutorial introduces what the concept of plagiarism is. It explains how plagiarism can be recognised and includes real-life examples of the impact of plagiarism inside and outside of academia. Strategies on how and why plagiarism is avoided are covered. The tutorial includes a number of self assessment interspersed throughout. This tutorial was adapted from the "Avoid Plagiarism" tutorial developed by IT Tallaght Library, Dublin, Ireland. This resource was created using Articulate Storyline. The resource contains the source file for the online resource found at: http://www.ucd.ie/library/elearning/plagiarism/story.html

Listen to "The Attribution Song" and learn to always give credit where credit is due when using other people's creations.

A no-tech card game designed to give learners an insight into how assessors and examiners use Turnitin's originality checking service to identify potential plagiarism.The game uses two decks of cards.  The first simulates the decision making process, presenting a series of extracts from Turnitin reports and asking students to judge whether they show examples of plagiarism or not.  These are then compared to a model answer (which is open to debate - many of the examples are borderline) and students asked to reflect on and challenge any disagreement.The second deck of cards is introduced, these show descriptions which match up to the first deck, and provide a competitive element as groups compete to solve a word puzzle by correctly matching the pairs of cards.  This emphasises how nuanced the inferences that can be drawn from the report are.Uses of the resourceSimilaritySim can be used in several ways.Teaching how to understand Turnitin reportsWhere learners are given access to reports on their own work, this activity can be used as part of a session introducing them to how the reports are interpreted, and how to avoid common mistakes (eg paying too much attention to the % score).It can also be valuable in staff development sessions, to train staff who will be interpreting the reports in a scaffolded way that can be more engaging than simply showing examples on a screen.Academic integrity trainingSimilaritySim can be used to show students the range of types of unoriginal work which Turnitin can detect, which can help them to understand the difference between switching out a couple of words and proper paraphrasing.  (Although care should be taken the importance of not plagiarising, rather than merely beating Turnitin).Reducing anxietySome learners are quite nervous about submitting high stakes work to Turnitin, mainly due to misunderstanding the way in which Turnitin is used.  This activity shows them that their assessor will need to spend considerable time working with the report, rather than it being a "computer says no" scenario.

This dictionary arose from the Higher Education Academy-funded Collaborative Teaching Development Grant ‘Closing the Loop: Bridging the Gap between Provision and Implementation of Feedback’. While the original project was aimed at the markers providing feedback, the dictionary is the result of the realisation that students need to be able to access the resources directly themselves.

This style and referencing guide aims to address these questions and more besides. We hope that after reading it you will have a good sense of what we are looking for in your written work, but if anything remains unclear after reading this, don’t hesitate to ask your personal tutor or subject tutors for further information. If you think key information has been omitted, is unclear, or is contradictory, please bring this to our attention! We can’t fix it if we don’t know it’s broken.

In this training, students develop strategies to avoid unintentional plagiarism in their economics and business papers. The interactive exercises cover the following topics: recognizing different types of plagiarism, correctly using quotations and paraphrases (in APA style), correctly citing sources in the text and in the reference list.

Plagiarism and copyright abuse have increased greatly as more and more people are producing content online. Learn how to use information correctly to create quality content while protecting the intellectual property of others.
