ABOUT EINSTRUCTION

e-Instruction provides in-class, real-time electronic quizzing and polling capability. The system is available in all West Lafayette TIC (Technology in Classroom) sites and ITaP labs. Instructors can download the software to an office or home machine for free. Students pay a small cost (currently around $20) for the response pads which they can use in all of their classes, and they can register their response pads in your course through WebCT Vista.

Instructors can take attendance, ask ungraded verbal questions (an excellent way to check student understanding anonymously), or create quizzes and exams that are graded automatically and can be uploaded into the WebCT Vista grade book with a single click. Additional features include: export of assessments into various reporting formats including Excel, Fastgrade (an answer key feature for grading homework), learning games, and Powerpoint integration.

Turnitin has long been the standard-setter in plagiarism prevention, having created the first Originality Report in 1998. Now in its fourth generation, Turnitin's latest version marks a significant improvement in functionality, accuracy, and usability.

Every paper submitted to Turnitin is compared against the most comprehensive digital repository of potentially plagiarizable material in the world. The repository currently consists of three primary databases:

1. Both a current and extensively archived copy of the publicly accessible internet;
2. Millions of commercial pages from books, newspapers, and journals;
3. Tens of millions of student papers already submitted to Turnitin.

Combined with the industry's most powerful search technology and innovative, easy-to-use reports, detecting plagiarism has never been easier or more effective.

TURNITIN AND WebCT VISTA

Turnitin is now available as a WebCT Vista plug in! This makes paper submission, plagiarism checking and grading part of one integrated process. Come see how easy it can be to deliver and manage assignments in a united course management and plagiarism checking environment.

THE WORKSHOP

This workshop will be hands-on and will take you through the process of creating Turnitin assignments and viewing student submissions.  Use of Turnitin both within WebCT Vista and outside as a stand-alone application for those not using Vista will be explored.  General information concerning plagiarism and what to do when it is detected will also be discussed.
