An article in the Education Guardian yesterday reported on the plan by Universities UK (UUK) to hold a conference on plagiarism caught my eye. The plan is to produce national guidelines so that universities won't have to come up with their own rules and regs and every student will be judged equally. Read it here: http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/news/story/0,,1924352,00.html
I was interested as some of our RLOs are on referencing and cover the WHY of referencing. A simple, short digital recording or Turning Point quiz could be very useful in explaining why it's important to reference other's work in a fun, interactive way. It's already being done in lots of universities and websites like Intute's Internet Detective (http://www.vts.intute.ac.uk/detective/) are also playing a useful role.
The more interactive and relevant we can make it for students the more the message should sink in.
