The Plagiarism Forum Day, hosted by the Learning and Teaching Network, was held on 16 January 2013. Jude Carroll, our guest speaker, ran three lively workshop sessions on the topic of plagiarism, assessment design and institutional policies and practice. Forty nine staff attended throughout the day and many issues around defining plagiarism and using the University’s policies on managing plagiarism cases were discussed. Among the topics raised for discussion were new ways of establishing plagiarism penalties via a tariff system; a plagiarism online forum for staff and also establishing School based ‘champions’ for managing cases of suspected plagiarism. Further discussions will be held in the coming term in the appropriate networks. For further information, email teaching@kent.ac.uk.
