Turn-it-in and MOSS
Protecting against plagiarism in academic work is important and many tools are available for instructors to use to verify students are not incorporating known works into their own without attribution. Turn-it-in for essays, and MOSS for software are two. Both require sending a copy of a student’s work to a central repository for it to be checked against the other works that the repository contains. The results are reported to the instructor and the student’s work is retained in the repository, adding to the body of work that future works will be checked against.
Examine the ethical considerations surrounding use of programs like Turn-it-in and MOSS.
