This is BBC World News Today with me, Alice Baxter. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Intense fighting in eastern Ukraine as President Putin visits Crimea, | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
recently annexed by Russia. At least 20 people are thought to | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
have died as Ukraine's government takes on pro-Russia separatists in | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
Mariupol. Here at the police station seems to be the most serious | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
incident so far in this city. There are still birdies on the streets | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
waiting to be taken away. -- buddies. In Crimea, President Putin | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
joins a military show of strength to mark the anniversary of the victory | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
over Nazi Germany. Also coming up: Nigeria's abducted | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
school girls - did the government fail to act on warnings about the | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
raid? We'll be talking to a Nigerian presidential spokesman. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
First day at work in a care home - we'll find out how the former | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has fared as he starts | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
community service. And how do you stop students | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
cheating in exams? Harvard University's asking them to promise | :01:10. | :01:10. | |
not to. Hello, and welcome. More than 20 | :01:11. | :01:31. | |
people, thought to be mainly pro-Russian demonstrators, have been | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
killed in the eastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol. The government says its | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
troops responded when activists tried to take over the police | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
headquarters. Our correspondent Richard Galpin and cameraman Tony | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Fallshaw were caught up in the crossfire on the streets of the | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
city. Their report contains images you may find distressing. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
GUNFIRE. Video the BBC believes to be showing | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
victory Day in Mariupol turning into a bloodbath. Ukrainian troops | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
fighting a pitch battle with pro-Russian separatists in the city | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
centre. The military brings in reinforcements as the battle | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
intensifies. But pro-Russian activists rush out onto the streets, | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
trying to stop the reinforcements going through. This man makes a | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
fatal error, walking out into the middle of the street. He is shot in | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
the chest. When we arrived on the scene, we discovered the battle had | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
been over this building, the police headquarters, which according to | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
officials had been occupied by pro-Russian rebels who refuse to | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
leave. The fighting here at the police station seems to be the most | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
serious incident so far here in this city. There are still bodies on the | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
streets waiting to be taken away. In the aftermath of the intense | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
fighting, people gathered outside in a state of shock. They were | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
pro-Russian, and said the killing here was indiscriminate. This woman | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
tells me "Only Russia, no-one else, can now protect them." "Why hasn't | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
President Putin come here so far?" She says. The Ukrainian military | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
seems to be stepping up its operation to push the pro-Russian | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
rebels out of this city. But it won't be easy, and there are many | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
other towns and cities which have yet to be cleared. | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
Vladimir Putin has marked one of Russia's most important | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
anniversaries by making his first visit to Crimea since the former | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Ukrainian region voted to join Russia in March. On the day when | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
Russians celebrate the country's victory over Nazi Germany, he told a | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
cheering crowd in Sevastopol that 2014 would go down in history as the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
year when Crimeans decided to be together with Russia. Daniel | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
Sandford was there. President Vladimir Putin, the first | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
Russian leader in almost 70 years to expand his territory, arriving today | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
in Crimea. CHEERING. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
As Russian air force jets roared overhead in triumph. It was the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
first time he had come here since he annexed the peninsula less than two | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
months ago. TRANSLATION: I am sure that 2014 will be written into the | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
history of this city and our whole country as the year when the people | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
who live here made the firm decision to be together with Russia. And then | :04:44. | :04:53. | |
he stepped out into the crowd of tens of thousands of delighted | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
patriotic Sevastopol residents. With its long history as the home of the | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Black Sea fleet, this is Crimea's most Russian city. It was a display | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
of defiance by President Putin, coming to Sevastopol in the face of | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
international opposition to his annexation of Crimea, knowing full | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
well that the people here supported what he did. | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
MARCHING BAND PLAYS. Today was victory Day in Crimea and | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
across the old Soviet Union, the day people celebrate the defeat of Nazi | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
Germany. But with Crimea gone and parts of his country in flames, the | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Ukrainian Prime Minister said today history was repeating itself, with | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
its people facing a different form of fascism. Daniel Sandford, BBC | :05:39. | :05:39. | |
News, Sevastopol. With me now is a Russian | :05:40. | :05:55. | |
commentator. Let's begin with events in Mariupol. | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
Sad and symbolic perhaps that we saw this happening on today of all | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
days, victory Day. The details remain sketchy, but how far does | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
this show is key is trying to take back control of eastern Ukraine? | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
That is exactly what it shows, and it shows how difficult this is as a | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
joke that the military in Kiev. Part of the problem is that the local | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
people don't want to cooperate. There is huge entity kilos feeling | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
there. It is very difficult. Right-mac we're seeing in that | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
report cheering crowds in Crimea, welcoming President Putin as he made | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
this speech. We have seen President Putin very visibly there. To what | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
degree can we draw parallels with what is happening in Crimea in terms | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
of Britain's involvement and support of what is happening. We can now | :06:56. | :06:56. | |
join the news that is an interesting question. The | :06:57. | :07:10. | |
contrast was so clear. On the one hand, you have Putin using victory | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
Day to go down to Crimea and basking in his triumphant, to the universal | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
approval of the crowds. In eastern Ukraine, you had as somebody pointed | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
out, no Vladimir Putin. He did not say, even in his speech in Crimea in | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
his speech at Moscow, he did not mention Ukraine. I think that is | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
hugely significant. It does suggest that all of the talk of Russia and | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
Vladimir Putin in particular ability to intervene in eastern Ukraine is | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
actually not true. That is not his preference. Right-mac in recent | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
days, we have seen this softening of talent when it comes to his rhetoric | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
regarding eastern Ukraine and the upcoming referendums. What you think | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
we can read into that softening of tone? Is this an impact of these | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
economic sanctions we have seen with people and organisations close to | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
the only Briton? There are certainly officials who | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
would like to think that. I do not share that view, and I do not share | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
the view either that Vladimir Putin has done a U-turn on his views of | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
Ukraine in general. I tend to think that Britain had one priority in | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Ukraine, and that was Russia's security. -- in Britain. Actually | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
going into Ukraine, he would damage that security. Ukraine enhanced its | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
security because it keeps Russia's on its black sea bass. In eastern | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
Ukraine, the risks are so colossal that I think it would take a huge | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
amount, a much greater level of disorder in eastern Ukraine, | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Professor can-mac would intervene. Right-mac looking ahead on Sunday, | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
we are expecting the referendums on succession. We are no longer in | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
expecting money car keys. But you think will happen during those | :09:13. | :09:27. | |
referendums? Kharkiv. Vladimir Putin has flagged that he asked for the | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
referendums to be delayed. He was under no obligation to endorse the | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
results. That leaves open some possibilities. Interesting. Many | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
thanks for coming in. The human rights group Amnesty | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
International alleges the Nigerian authorities were warned in advance | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
about a raid on a school but failed to act. The attack led to the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls. Meanwhile, British and | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
US teams have arrived in Nigeria to help with the search for the girls. | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
Here's our security correspondent, Gordon Corera. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Bring back! Our girls! Passions run high at a protest | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
outside the Nigerian High Commission in London today. Anger at both Boko | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Haram for kidnapping the schoolgirls, and the Nigerian | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
government for its slow response. They are innocent children! Boko | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
Haram, what have we done to you? It is a total, total disgrace what the | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
government has done. It was three weeks ago. They could have done | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
something three weeks ago. Today, more reasons for anger. Amnesty | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
International claimed that the Nigerian authorities received four | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
hours' warning about the raid on the school, but still failed to act. And | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
the father of one abducted girl claimed in an interview with the BBC | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
that some of the teachers had made sure their daughters at the school | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
were safe. The staff who are working there, they have daughters at school | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
there, and none of their daughters were kidnapped because they had the | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
information earlier, and they sent away their daughters home. They left | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
the rest of the daughters there, and then Boko Haram came in and | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
kidnapped them. Bring back our girls. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
Four weeks on, and anger over the abduction of the girls is growing | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
here and around the world. With it, demands for action. Britain and | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
other countries have sent small teams to help, but it's not clear | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
how much they will really be able to do. Part of the role of those | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
British and American teams is to help in the search for the girls | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
taken from Chibok. This will involve using high-tech intelligence, | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
including satellite and aerial reconnaissance, maybe also drones. | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
But it has been a month. The search area is huge, and includes difficult | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
terrain, especially the Sambisa Forest, where Boko Haram have their | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
hideouts. Foreign teams will also be trying to improve security to | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
prevent more abductions, and trying to persuade the Nigerians to adopt a | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
more subtle counter-insurgency strategy. But their poor human | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
rights record mean there are limits on how far Britain and America can | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
cooperate with them. So despite the arrival of foreign help, the | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
Nigerians are still in charge, and it's still not clear what they want | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
to or are able to do. We can now go live to Abuja and | :12:17. | :12:26. | |
speak to Doyin Okupe, the spokesman for the Nigerian President Goodluck | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
Jonathan. Thanks for joining us. Let's begin with the allegation made | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
in that report by Amnesty International saying it believes the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Nigerian military government had advanced warning of more than four | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
hours of the attack on the school. Yet reinforcements were not sent. | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
How do you respond? Thank you. This news broke a couple of hours ago, | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
and I have had the opportunity to consult with the authorities in | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
Abuja. They have actually demanded this statement. They have said this | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
is untrue. I believe in the next couple of minutes, I am sure the | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
defence headquarters will be making an official statement on this | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
matter. From what I know, you will recall that a couple of months ago, | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
Amnesty International also did come up with some negative information | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
about the Nigerian army during the episode where several thousands of | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
people were killed. Amnesty International insisted that these | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
people do this, and evidence pointed out that that was not true. The | :13:55. | :14:04. | |
evidence initially put together by Amnesty International turned out to | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
be false. If you go by that record, I am not surprised that this is also | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
one of the antics trying to spoil the Nigerian military. I understand | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
you refute the claim being made, but they have also said that | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
reinforcements were not sent on this occasion because of a reported fear | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
of engaging with the often better equipped armed groups. Why is Boko | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
Haram better equipped than the Nigerian government? Why are they so | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
powerful? Who is them? Thank you very much. This is a statement that | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
has often been repeated. You must understand that the Nigerian army is | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
a professional army, and is a highly disciplined army. In the Army, the | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
greats of equipment and machinery that soldiers can carry during the | :15:06. | :15:16. | |
affair. -- grades. Boko Haram is undisciplined and does not conform | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
to international rules of engagement and can carry rocket propelled | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
grenades and machine guns. This is not allowed under international law, | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
not because they are not responsible to anyone, they can do that. The | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
Nigerian army still has the capability to overpower them as in | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
every case. The Nigerian army prevailed. That is why they we're | :15:45. | :15:54. | |
ready to push them out of the States in order to run the state. They are | :15:55. | :16:03. | |
better armed. But what people are seeing a rocket propelled grenades | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
that nobody uses in any professional area. | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
Mr Okupe, I want to ask you briefly about the globalisation of the | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
search for the girls. President Girdler Jonathan has recently | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
accepted help from the United States, Britain, China and France. | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
Is that an admission that your own efforts have been ineffective? That | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
is not correct. Most world leaders have considered the fact that | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
wherever there is insecurity brought about by terrorists, the whole world | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
should come together and fight it together. After all, the flight that | :16:49. | :17:00. | |
crashed in Malaysia, MH370, it wasn't because the Malaysian | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
government was incapable, it was because of empathy, people brought | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
what they could to help. This is not about the Nigerian government or | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
military. We are all against this menace and we are fighting together. | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
And I think it is to change now, unless there are other ulterior | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
motives, why would people want to put down the Nigerian government? | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
The United States, Great Britain, France and Canada have agreed to | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
work together and we should be using this instead of looking for ways to | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
bring down the Nigerian government. Mr Okupe, many thanks for joining me | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
here on the programme. Now a look at some of the day's | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
other news. The leaders of the warring factions | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
in South Sudan have both arrived in Ethiopia for face-to-face peace | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
talks. Rebel leader Riek Machar has already met with the Ethiopian Prime | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
Minister, who is mediating the talks. South Sudan's President Salva | :18:09. | :18:21. | |
Kiir is also in Addis Adaba. A ballistics expert at the murder | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
trial of South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has questioned the | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
prosecution's version of how he shot his girlfriend. Defence witness Tom | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Wolmarans said wounds show Reeva Steenkamp may have been standing | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
when first shot, and still falling when the last shot hit her. That | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
contradicted evidence by the prosecution's police ballistics | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
expert, who said Ms Steenkamp sat on a magazine rack, attempting to | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
protect her head with her arms when the last shot hit her. More from | :18:43. | :18:55. | |
South Africa now. The ruling ANC is headed for a comfortable win as | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
vote-counting in the elections drew to a close. With nearly 99% of South | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Africa's voting districts counted, the African National Congress had | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
over 62% percent of the vote - slightly lower than its result in | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
2009. The BBC's Andrew Harding reports from South Africa. | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
Elections over, and it is back to work in a country anxious for | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
change. Many businesses, big and small, say they are struggling here | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
in South Africa. With an unskilled workforce, restrictive labour laws | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
and mixed messages from government. I think they need to create an | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
atmosphere that is pro-business, that allows small entrepreneurs to | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
enter the market and flourish. It would be good to see corruption | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
disappear. I think corruption is the rot of everything and from there, | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
everything else just goes pear-shaped. And a better education | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
system to provide more educated workers? It would be great. It would | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
be helpful. So can the governing ANC deliver? Today, it is celebrating a | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
reduced but decisive election victory and is promising to use that | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
mandate to push through a big pro-business reform programme, | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
focusing on investment and infrastructure. It is going to be, I | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
think, quite an exciting and robust development of the economy in South | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Africa, as long as we stick to the plans that we have, which I think | :20:10. | :20:18. | |
are very good plans. But there is the problem. After the bloodshed of | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Marikana, tensions remain high in the crucial mining sector. The | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
Government seems reluctant to confront its trade union partners, a | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
recipe perhaps for more uncertainty. I think it will be more of the same. | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
And I think it will be a tough job for us in Parliament to hold the ANC | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
accountable, to keep it on its toes, and to make sure that, where | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
possible, it does implement those critical policy interventions. The | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
public have made it clear in this election that they have not yet lost | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
faith in the ANC, but the Government will now be under growing pressure | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
to deliver on tackling unemployment and corruption. That is the problem, | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
jobs. At my age now, I am 40 years old, it has been ten years not | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
working. So I think they will be more jobs than this one. So maybe | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
our poverty might be a little bit nicer. So things might get better? | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
Thank you very much, sir. Some optimism, then, and lots of hard | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
work ahead. Italy's former Prime Minister Silvio | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
Berlusconi has completed the first day of the community service he was | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
ordered to do after being found guilty of tax fraud. David Willey | :21:39. | :21:48. | |
has more from Rome. The media turned out in force to | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
watch Mr Berlusconi begin his first four-hour weekly stint at the care | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
home for the elderly. His bodyguards weren't allowed inside. The former | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
Italian Prime Minister had been warned by justice authorities not to | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
give interviews and he arrived and left without saying a word. He was | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
originally sentenced to four years in prison, but this has been | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
commuted to community service. One protester shouted out that the media | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
magnate ought to be in jail. A regular volunteer at the care home | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
was unhappy about all the publicity Mr Berlusconi still gets, despite | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
his conviction for fraud. Italian criminal law is lenient to offenders | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
over 70 years of age. Mr Berlusconi has been stripped of his seat in | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
parliament after his conviction for tax fraud by one of his media | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
companies. Yet he still intends to lead the political campaign on | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
behalf of his Forza Italia party in the forthcoming European elections. | :23:00. | :23:09. | |
And now, how do you stop students cheating in exams and stealing | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
essays from the internet? There's been growing concern about the | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
so-called Google generation's academic habits and now Harvard | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
University is going to introduce an "honour code" in which students will | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
promise not to cheat. The Ivy League university faced a major scandal two | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
years ago, with dozens of students disciplined for sharing answers in a | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
take-home politics exam. Joining me is Mike Reddy, from the | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
University of Wales. He's a member of the academic network of the | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
Plagiarism Advisory Service in the UK, and an advisor to Turn-it-in, a | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
company which has created software to help detect student plagiarism. | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
Many thanks for joining me. So honour codes, "I promise not to | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
cheat" , they are hardly binding. Do they work? It is Don McCabe, from | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
brokers University, he has done research over the last few decades | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
and has found there is a small amount in the difference plagiarism | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
and academic offences in universities with honour codes, but | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
he has also found that unless there is an ethos or a culture of honesty, | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
introducing an honour code at a late stage isn't in any way affected. | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
Give us a sense of the scale of the problem. How big an issue is | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
Internet plagiarism now when it comes to academic work in | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
University, across the globe? You have do remember we are in a very | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
different culture to when I went to university, when you would have to | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
wade through shelves of abstracts and wait weeks for a paper to come | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
back. Now you can get 50 papers in five seconds with a click and a few | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
presses on a keyboard. So it is a very different culture and obviously | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
we need to make use of the Internet, it is a fantastic resource but | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
unfortunately it has a dark side to and it makes it easier to copy and | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
paste. But also easier to detect. It is a truly international problem. | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
And presumably other problem is a lot of the students are Parmar | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
Internet savvy these days than their lecturers and teachers? --far more | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
Internet savvy. This is a good point, we need to be engaging in | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
teaching with these technologies because students are used to using | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
them in their everyday lives. They take them for granted where it still | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
seems like magic to me. The thing for us old fuddy-duddies is to keep | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
learning and talking and developing. There is a conference in Newcastle | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
this year, the International Plagiarism Conference, where people | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
come from all over the world to discuss new ways of educating | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
students to prevent Majorism and collusion as a possible offence. | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
Presumably, there is the problem that we can create software to | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
detect the problem but then students will get better at plagiarising. | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
Does this call for a reassessment in the way in which we grade students | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
or assess students, that we need a new way of testing them? There is a | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
movement called Assessment For Learning, where they say it | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
shouldn't just be a measurement of your performance but wait for you to | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
load while doing the assessment. It an interesting point about students | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
getting better at plagiarising. It is like getting better at driving. | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
Universities are like teaching you for your driving test, you never | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
afterwards drive... Mr Reddy, I am sorry, we have to leave it there. | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
