TACKLING PLAGIARISM ONLINE

Keeping students honest in and outside of class time is a challenge for most educators. Add in the movement toward online classes, and the challenge is only compounded. A recent story in U.S. News and World Report discusses the variety of ways that educators are dealing with academic dishonesty and plagiarism.

 Plagiarism Org

“In every single class, we have information on what plagiarism is, and a major piece is that we hold our students accountable if they’re caught,” says Diane Johnson, assistant director of faculty services at St. Leo University in Florida. She goes on to say that students have been disciplined in the past for copying others’ work. “If you hear that one of your classmates has been reported for plagiarism, it gives you an impetus to not do it too.”

St. Leo University emphasizes educating not only students but also faculty about plagiarism and how to use Turnitin, often in the same online eCOACH training sessions.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

In July we shared the idea of establishing an endowed scholarship fund in honor of our friend and colleague, Dr. Patrick Draves, who passed away ten months ago. Today, we are pleased to share with you progress that has been made toward the goal of $10,000, the amount needed to fund an endowed scholarship at Saint Leo. We are most grateful to all who have honored Patrick’s memory and his commitment to scholarship, teaching, and his students with their gift to the fund. Memorial gifts received from Patrick’s colleagues, former students, family, and friends total $8,475.

Only $1,525 is needed to endow the scholarship, in which one $500 research scholarship will be given to one student each year. It isn’t too late for your gift to be added to the fund!

Please join us today by sending your gift to the Dr. Patrick Draves Memorial Endowed Scholarship.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rich Bryan

Share Your Holiday Greetings with iNKBLOT!

Christmas Lion animate

 

 

Tis the season for holiday greetings.  Instead of doing the the boring mass holiday messages that every website does, we are inviting you to connect with the world.  Over the next couple of weeks we are going to post “Holiday Greetings” and “Hopes and Resolutions for the New Year” made entirely from reader submissions.  What we are looking for are videos, audio recordings, photos, written statements, and so on.  The more creative you can be, the better.

Some general guidelines:

  • The message should be a positive one.  
  • Videos should be 1-2 minutes top
  • Limit foul language in any video or audio recordings.
  • When emailing your submission, let us know if it is for the Holiday Greeting section, Hopes and Resolutions for the New Year, or both.

If you have a Holiday greeting or New Year Resolution that you would love to share with the world, send it to us at inkblotsubmission@gmail.com.

A bit about the JVC program:
As a national direct grantee of the Corporation for National and Community Service, 133 of our Jesuit Volunteers are also AmeriCorps members. Jesuit Volunteers live in urban and rural locations in communities of four to eight volunteers. This year, the JVs work with 107 partner agencies across the region in many areas, involved in critical social services advocating for domestic violence survivors, nursing in community clinics, teaching and tutoring in schools with Native American children, assisting in shelters, working for food justice issues, and many more important works. Throughout their year of service, JVs focus on four core values–social and ecological justice, simple living, spirituality, and community.
