Turnitin and Plagiarism

Hi All-

There was an interesting article and set of comments on plagiarism and services such as Turnitin in Andy Carvin's blog last week - http://www.pbs.org/teachersource/learning.now/
2006/09/the_ethics_of_plagiarism_detec.html.

At CCCOnline our tack so far has been to focus on teaching learners about plagiarism and designing assignments to limit plagiarism (Alice and Phyllis have designed a great workshop and toolkit), but other system colleges have also licensed the services of companies such as Turnitin.
