This website and blog is designed to help all of us working at London Met to share our passion for teaching and learning.
There are resources here on the site that people can use whenever they want to hopefully feed their passion for emancipatory and creative learning, teaching and assessment (LTA). There will be fortnightly blogposts sharing tips on easy-to-use ideas that can be embedded into any module at any level to develop student learning and success.

"take just 5 minutes" to: - find a new idea - share how you applied it to your subject/module - share a new approach - add a comment...

Free Internet based paraphrasing tools: further threats to academic integrity - BioMed Central blog

Paraphrasing tools or article ‘spinners’ are free Internet sites which use computer programs to change writing so it looks different to the original text. While it may look different to the source material, using the output from an online tool can be considered a form of plagiarism or cheating as it is not an individual’s work but the work of a machine. This study, published in the International Journal for Educational Integrity, shows that the machine outputs are of poor quality, cannot be trusted and there are ways of detecting their use.

#Take5: 18: The best way to tackle plagiarism?

#Take5: 18: The best way to tackle plagiarism? | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

In our cut and paste culture, even if it is not actually the case, it sometimes seems that we are being overwhelmed by a plague of plagiarism, not just in academia but in all walks of life (e.g. Scroth, 2012). The current popularity of tools like Turnitin in higher education suggests that what started out as a solution in search of a problem may have opened a Pandora’s box in which our notions of academic honesty and integrity are called into question by the behaviour of our students. In fact, the ubiquity of electronic counter-measures have given rise to counter-counter-measures (e.g. Rogerson & McCarthy, 2017) which make marking essays more of an exercise in forensic science rather than an educational process.
