We’re happy to inform you that our business development director, Yulia Chut, will be joining the EduTiclnnova conference in Peru with her online speech about the effective ways of reducing the levels of academic dishonesty.

The problem of academic dishonesty is growing at an enormous pace. Google alone gives over 261M results to the “how to cheat on a test” search request. And while some educators argue wholeheartedly that only trust to their students can actually inspire them to be as authentic in their study as the institution expects, others register unprecedentedly high levels of plagiarism in learners’ papers.

The days of Googling text line by line in order to find a source and properly give credit are long gone. It takes too much time and is not effective. Posting an article that contains uncited material is an invitation to plagiarism, which can lead to an author losing credibility, or worse, being subject to legal action.

Contract cheating is on the rise. Essay mills conduct aggressive marketing campaigns with shady messaging that implies giving you a break from writing essays, helping to write a “plagiarism-free” paper, reducing academic pressure.

You may have seen dozens of them lately. Cases of contract cheating and the recent college scam with celebs involved are still making the headlines.

Eventually, they may sidetrack your attention. But do they have anything to do with academic cheating in higher school or university? What started once with cheating on exams may turn into the long-lasting habit of cutting corners.

On July 9-11, in Long Beach, California, one of the most fun and informative education conferences is going to take place — Canvas InstructureCon 2019. Increasing student success and learning about the power of technology to impact education are among the main objectives of the event.

Online Teaching Conference 2019 is a real opportunity for educators to cooperate with colleagues, connect, share knowledge and best practices, and further their professional development.

“Is a plagiarism checker reliable?” This question is a major concern for HigherEd and K-12, and we know why. Reliability includes everything from security and accessibility of the plagiarism prevention software to its ability to scale and to handle peak load.

With computer-related courses becoming an integral part of modern education, being able to detect the originality of code is growing more important.

Unlike common paper plagiarism, source code plagiarism is much easier to commit yet difficult to detect. Most of the existing plagiarism detection tools fail to accurately identify similarities concealed within plagiarized code due to poorly adopted algorithms. These tools are also usually difficult to launch, have bulky interfaces, and provide illegible results. All of these factors make a code plagiarism detector an obstacle rather than a helper.

We at Unicheck strive to serve our users the best we possibly can. To help further that goal, we just rolled out a brand-new Similarity Report to enhance your productivity, remove educational barriers, and help students be more successful.
