This blog is a (much!) less-than-formal outlining of recent travels, events, happenings, thoughts and comments which tend to have some occupational relevance, but are on occasion nothing more than a means of passing the time while waiting for trains, planes & automobiles...

Where's Fiona Bruce when you need her?

Spent today at my old college, not just seeing some old (well they do look old - FE does that to you!) friends and colleagues and fielding job offers (yes they'd have me back), but also helping PlagiarismAdvice.org to run a workshop identifying where plagiarism in student work is likely to occur, developing strategies to prevent problems recurring and encouraging student engagement.
The workshop participants also learnt how to use plagiarism detection software, in this instance TurnitinUK, to assist with detecting student plagiarism and also as part of a more formative approach.
Nice to go back, but glad it was only for a day....
