Use of Electronic detection tools: 1. Choosing the right tool for the task, Recommendations taken from Good Practice Guide, Commissioned by JISC and written by Jude Carroll and Jon Appleton from Oxford Brookes.
"If the lecturer is worried about students copying from each other, they need a tool that checks for collusion. CopyCatch, devised by a forensic linguist and available for purchase (see resources in Appendix 1 (42kb)), requires a relatively short time to match each script with all the others in the cohort. Matches over 60% or 70% (depending on the task) are clear indications of the need for specific checking of those papers more closely. CopyCatch can only be used if students submit work electronically."
