Comment on African Academic Integrity Seminar by Lynette Nagel

Hi Cath, There was no time to tell you at the African Academic Integrity workshop in Johannesburg that I was very interested in your use of Turnitin, not only as you are clearly using the (for us) future version, but by your use of the tools to gather worthwhile information. I am referring to the analytics of the colour coding in GradeMark. I have a PhD student who would benefit from using this technique in her research. Do you have a publication on this, either by yourself or someone else, that we can cite?
I am looking forward to a reply, thanks
Lynette

Simon Buckingham-Shum’s stuff is very impressive, as is the work of SOLAR. I’d be really interested in attending that meeting. DO you have details?

The discussion of learning analytics has continued today with a fabulous session from Simon Buckingham Shun from the OU with a team including CETIS, This explored the complexity of the subject of how data can be used to support learning, introducing the new role of the ‘data wrangler’ who can present data to make it meaningful to learners/academics. There is a meeting at the OU in Nov (19th) – a SOLAR flare – socieity of learning analytics. I’m hoping to attend.

Hello Cath,

thanks for this useful summary. It is great to keep further developing our use of GradeMark by (re)defining the definition of useful student feedback. In the SCALA project, we are also seeking to carry out a pilot using audio feedback to find out where its potential and limitations lie.

Greetings from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam,

I think you’re right and it will be interesting to see where it goes. The iPad app is certainly focused on making the process of engaging with student work cleaner, clearer and easier. It will also allow for offline marking which is something about which I know a lot of people are keen.

The shift in focus from plagiarism checking to a marking tool with added plagiarism checking is an interesting one and judging by the features they’re thinking about, one that it will be interesting to follow.

Not quite yet – we’re still in the collection and collation phase but we should be providing some results fairly soon.

Hi – do you have any results of the Ebeam project yet, particularly relating to using grademark? I can’t find anything on the web.

thanks

Looks fantastic, although I’m not convinced by the pricing. It’s more expensive than Turnitin which of course gives plagiarism detection as well as a decent online marking app. Turnitin have the market pretty well sewn up by providing an end to end solution. I hope they add some more features to compete better with turnitin, they could definitely benefit from some competition!
