What staff need(s) will the workshop meet?
I need to understand more about plagiarism and be able to spot typical mistakes in assessment design which can lead to academic misconduct occurring.
I’m about to review all the assessments on my programme and want to make a start on ‘designing out’ plagiarism.

In this workshop you will explore New Forms of Plagiarism and how to deter plagiarism through assessment design. Working with sample assessment briefs, you will have the chance to identify problematic issues and consider revisions which ‘design out’ opportunities for plagiarism.
If you have assessment briefs of your own that you would like to revise, please feel free to bring them along. There will be time for you to redesign them with help from our workshop providers and your colleagues.
