Call for Chapters: Student Plagiarism in an Online World: Cases and Solutions
Edited by Tim S Roberts, Faculty of Business and Informatics, Central Queensland University
Call for Chapters - deadline for submission of proposals: July 15, 2006
Overall objectives of the book
Twenty years ago, plagiarism was seen as an isolated misdemeanour, restricted to a small group of dishonest students. Today, it is widely recognised as a ubiquitous, systemic problem. Some 90% of students admit to cheating of some form during their academic careers. Some 70% admit to copying material directly from the Internet.
This is a major concern to educators in all fields and at all levels. How can students be assessed fairly, when the problem of plagiarism is so widespread? This book will address the issue of student plagiarism directly. What is the scale of the problem? Why should it be taken seriously? What tools and techniques can be used to combat the problem?
These questions will be answered using as exemplars cases and solutions from real-life situations.
Target audience
Professionals working in the area of online teaching and learning; researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds including educationalists, psychologists, sociologists, cognitive theorists, computer scientists, etc, teachers, particularly those in colleges and universities, instructional designers, web developers, and undergraduate and postgraduate students.
