Description

« Hide

Our institution subscribes to TurnItIn's plagiarism detection services (http://www.turnitin.com/static/plagiarism.html).
It can be accessed via a web browser but we've also integrated it with our home-grown CMS. In other words when staff creates an assignment in our CMS it automatically create an assignment in TurnItIn with the same name.
When students submit to our CMS the papers are automatically also submitted to TurnItIn and when the submission reports from TurnItIn are made available, they are accessible from our CMS.
Some staff has become so used to this feature, since it is easier and far less work than using TurnItIn directly, which will make the decision to migrate to Sakai a difficult one.

Yeah, plagiarism detection is HOT.
We use Ephorus for this (www.ephorus.nl) in our current VLE. We make use of the webservice that Ephorus offers on the market.
Is there any commonality (open standard?) for these kind of services that we know of?

UCT is starting work on TII support within the next 2-3 weeks.

Stephan, could you share a general outline of your plans when you have a chance? Such as, is this intended for 2.4, are you thinking of a separate tool here or integration with Assignments and Samigo? Thanks.

Stephen Marquard - 25-Nov-2006 09:27

We will be building this so that it can run against a 2-3-x build, with the aim of getting it merged into trunk hopefully for 2.4

Our primary use case is integration with Assignments. We hadn't considered Samigo but perhaps there may be a way in which the service could be available to other tools. We'll keep that in mind.

Sounds good. Let's target it for 2.4 for now then, and you can update as your plans progress.

This issue is currently scheduled to be addressed for the 2.4 release. There are only 3 days left until code freeze. If know already that this issue will not be addressed for 2.4, please updated the Fix Version with a new estimate of when it will be addressed. Thanks.

Given the roll back of Assignments to the 2.3.x version, updating any assignment 2.4 fix version to nightly so the release notes are accurate

[ Permlink | « Hide ]

David Horwitz - 23-May-2007 06:55

This needs to be checking in light of the role back of assignments in 2.4

David,

The fixes have been checked in again in r30946 and r30947.

Please verify.

Thanks,

- Zhen

David - any way to check if this is all working now on nightly? I suppose it would have to have the turnitin module built along with nightly though. Maybe a checkout of 2.4 and then Assignments trunk on top of that?

David Horwitz - 31-May-2007 10:31

Hi John,

Sorry I had meant to test this on our nightly build - which suffered a RAID array failure. Yes if we could drop in the implementation and set assignment.useContentReview=true in sakai.properties

Tasks for 2.5.0 have been completed. We're nearing the end of the QA cycle and A lot of general regression testing has been going on for the past few months - the changes have likely been reviewed via this method of testing
