Plagiarize much?

Using the wonders of Google, Skyline Inc. has just released it’s plagiarism-detector 8.0. It can check Word documents, PDFs, and power point presentations, among others, against any published source on the internet, using Google’s search algorithms. Sounds like a much better source than Turnitin.com – and it also looks like it would be one heck of a lot cheaper! Anyone concerned with the originality of their work can now easily run a plagiarism search from home.

Spellcheck much?

I just completed yet another round of marking (and, of course, was treated to some interesting words) when I came across this blog about trusting one's spellchecker. Take a look - it's certainly a useful tool when you're a terrible speller like me, but to blindly accept changes? Yikes!
