Elanour Snow, (2006) [http://innovateonline.info/index.php?view=article&id=306&action=article Teaching students about plagiarism: An Internet solution to an Internet problem, Innovate 2(5)
- Abstract: In what follows, I diagnose the problem of plagiarism in higher education with regard to student and faculty perceptions; I then address the role that online technology should play not only in the detection of plagiarism but also in the proactive prevention of plagiarism in the form of online tutorials. In doing so, I provide examples of my own use of such a tutorial as well as other tutorials that have helped to address this problem. While such practices offer vital strategies for educators, I believe they should be considered within the larger context of institutional policies that ensure consistent standards and practice for faculty and students.

However, when there is relative anonymity and a separation between instructor and student, these concerns seem to increase. This article attempts to critically analyse the argumentson both sides of the online cheating debate while presenting techniques for circumventing and alleviating issues related with online education
