| As well as offering an innovative way to
handle traditional sorts of plagiarism, PAIRwise fights fire
with fire, using computing technologies to address plagiarism
from the Internet.
Students submit written assignments to a website.
PAIRwise then analyzes those assignments and produces
a report that identifies instances of likely plagiarism
by indicating the percentage of each assignment that
shares identical wording with other sources. This
information is presented graphically for instructors
to use in making their own judgments about whether
students have followed instructions for citations,
collaboration, and academic integrity.
PAIRwise is quick and easy to use. It takes an instructor
only minutes to subscribe a course to the service,
and the web interface for students is just as simple.
The results are presented in easy-to-interpret graphical
form and allow the instructor to quickly access and
evaluate the details of each case.
| PAIRwise generates side-by-side comparisons of suspect assignments with
identical passages highlighted for positive identification of plagiarism. |
