Exam 'spy' traps school cheats :
"Students who surfed the internet to complete their GCSE and A-level assignments face exposure as plagiarists in an experiment introduced by an exam board this summer."
I know this has been a problem driving people mad at uni. I wonder how successful the Turnitin software is and how long it takes to check and mark one paper. I guess other places will be trying it . But what about the net enabled mobile phones in exams? Or texting? Someone has told me today that they have phones which older people can't hear...just kids and dogs ( does that mean something?) Shall we have patrolling dogs in exam rooms like we have dogs at airports? Dogs are becoming very handy in a technologically bent world. I know unis are making students do a lot more oral work and explanations to try and combat plagarism of work. That seems to be very effective.
