I found online a free of charge plagiarism detector called Dupli Checker. It can be used on a daily basis with no subscription fee. You will be allowed to scan up to 50 checks a day, if you sign up for free. This instrument has been stated to easily be used and does not require any in-depth training to be used. It allows you to copy and paste or upload the document from the computer to check for plagiarism (e-learningindustry.com).

How can the design of assessments help prevent academic dishonesty?

The design of an assessment can prevent academic dishonesty in several ways. I think Dr. Keith Pratt from the class video gave a great example when he stated to give questions in the form of one being able to use a book or other resources to answer or complete a question. (Laureate education, 2012). If the question requires other resourced information it allows the answers to be researched and properly documented.

In an effort to reduce the opportunity for plagiarism or cheating, what facilitation strategies do you propose to use as a current or future online instructor?

Students should be given this information at the beginning of the course and given the consequences of any intentional plagiarism. Student should be guided to resources to assist with receiving writing skills through the online college or university remediation centers.

What additional considerations for online teaching should be made to help detect or prevent cheating and plagiarism?

Teachers should always monitor students work to identify cheating. Teachers should establish a relationship and communicate concerns that students may not be aware of not given others credit for their work. Unintentional plagiarism can happen by not understanding the proper way to notate others work.

Week 5 assignment: Impact of Technology on adult Learning

Technology can and does have a great impact on online learning. Technology can impact online learners by adding great resources to enhance their academic success. Technology allows the less traditional and working students a chance to further their education and still maintain a better quality of life.

Online instructors must incorporate a clear and concise understanding of what is expected of each student. This can be done by making sure all information and expectations are given in a timely manner, in order that students can prepare and monitor their time as needed.

Adults are able to access information at any time, which makes obtaining a quality education is easier to obtain. Students are able to interact with a diverse number of students through technology. Online teaching will allow students to interact in a group setting without having to talk over others as in a traditional classroom setting.

Blogging is a technology I would use, because it allows the students the ability to interact with a wide array of diverse students. Some students are able to be more expressive through their writing. Blogging would allow them to express themselves to others.
