Downloadable Software
Available from here: Rendezvous, plagiarism and assessment online, link to Liftshare Magic, and TRAMP software
Rendezvous
Rendezvous work focuses on the effects of "loose causal consistency" between distributed users within an application, investigating the potential of this loose connection as a means of coping with very high latency, such as that found on a mobile phone. These downloads largely feature games used in the process of experimentation.
Plagiarism
Over
the last few years a lot of work has been put into the prevention of plagiarism
at universities, in particular "cut and paste" plagiarism from the
web, a number of software mechanisms are now in place for teachers and
lecturers to use.
The
original page on how to use Turnitin, and early versions of Jisc can be found here, although they are now obsolete.
For
universities in the UK
Both of these TRAMP downloads are BETA releases - you have been warned. There are a lot of glitches in the system. Feel free to fix them, I'll be delighted, but don't be surprised. I'll try to warn you about the more major pitfalls in the documentation.
