Computer program helps detect cheats in high schools, colleges - Jennifer Peltz, The Sun-Sentinel
By making some research a matter of a mouse click, the World Wide Web also made plagiarism as easy as cutting and pasting. But the Web also makes it easier to snare plagiarists, as some Florida colleges, universities and schools are letting their students know. Florida Atlantic University will start offering an online copy-checker to all its professors this summer, after using it in some English and writing classes for a few years. The state's flagship University of Florida signed up in March for the same for-profit service, called TurnItIn.com -- and about 100 faculty members already have signed on to use it, according to system administrator Douglas Johnson. And the University of Central Florida ran more than 19,000 student papers through the service during the spring semester, according to administrators.
