Abstract:

Education of the digital age. What does it look like?
Every minute, hundreds of websites are created and thousands of files are uploaded online. Information is open, information is widely available.
Is this for the best? Or for the worst?

A survey of over 63,700 US undergraduate and 9,250 graduate students over the course of 3 years (2002-2005) revealed that 38% of undergraduates admit to “paraphrasing/copying few sentences from written source without footnoting it”.

As the years pass, the figures grow.
Without a special software access to billions of online pages leaves no chance to the teacher to find out that the parts of the paper have been copied.
Unplag is a similarity detection engine that helps both students and educators to fight plagiarism.
For students, we offer a tool that highlights copied areas that were not cited.

For educators, we offer Internet similarity check and check across institution repositories and papers databases.
In our presentation we will show how the system works and describe the ways it can be implemented within schools and universities.
