[LM_NET] SHARE: Free Anti-Plagiarism Site

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

Here's something to share with your teachers this year...a free
anti-plagiarism site:
***********
A new service has been launched to help instructors in both higher
education and K-12 institutions detect plagiarized work submitted by
students. The service, DOC Cop, is an entirely Web-based tool that
provides free and automated assistance in locating "source material"
(ahem) used in assignments submitted to teachers.

DOC Cop was developed by Mark McCrohon, who previously worked in an
Australian university and told us he got the idea from the system as
he witnessed students colluding on work that was supposed to be an
individual effort and turning in duplicate assignments to multiple
professors.
