You will also be notified of any new reports detailing the use of a particular technology such as discussion forums.

Caroline describes her experience as part of the Virtual Team-teaching Project that has been taking place between Cégep de Sept-Iles and Vanier College since 2005. Read the full story. As of August 24, 2009, teachers at Vanier will have access to the Turnitin plagiarism detection / originality reporting service. This will replace EVE2, the plagiarism detector previously supported by the College. For more details on the Turnitin service, read my previous post New at Vanier: Turnitin, a Plagiarism-Prevention Service . You can also visit the Turnitin website at http://turnitin.com. We will be hosting an information session for faculty on Turnitin on Wednesday, September 16th at 12:30 in room A-311. Any teacher or department wanting more information or a Turnitin account can contact me by email at greaneym@vaniercollege.qc.ca or by phone at extension 7848. Several teachers have expressed an interest in having students participate in a blogging activity as part of course requirements. As of right now, we do not have a blogging server set up at the College. So, this semester one teacher will be experimenting with www.wordpress.com. We have produced a tipsheet to help students get started on the system. If you are considering a similar project, take a look at the tipsheet, Blogging on Wordpress.com. If you would like to have a copy of the original .doc file in order to make changes and distribute it to your students, please let me know. The screenshots are clearer in the .doc file. |
