AntiPlagio, Silicon Artists successful anti-plagiarism tool for university professors, has now been adapted for use by secondary school teachers as part of Fundación Telefónica’s EducaRed educational initiative. The tool allows teachers to instantly analyse work submitted by their students, checking for material copied from the Internet.
Devised as a handy Windows application, AntiPlagio communicates with a back-end server that maintains an index of popular student notes-swapping websites. It is even capable of detecting plagiarisms within plagiarisms.
EducaRed is Fundación Telefónica’s initiative targeted at the secondary education community.
