Code of Practice for the use of similarity detection software on electronic submission of text based coursework

This Code brings together and updates recommendations initially agreed considered by the Learning and Teaching Board in 2010 and 2011 following the introduction of the Blackboard VLE in 2009.

The updates reflect changes in practice arising from the Digital Strategy for Taught Student Education and the institutional move towards electronic submission of coursework (TSEB/14-82) by the start of the 2016-2017 session, and developments in good practice standards in use of similarity detection software to support academic integrity.
