I just checked this out and in theory it looks really great. But how do you know that students don't cheat in doing the tutorial and test?
I don't. But we keep the certificates on file, so when the student is caught plagiarizing later on and tries to tell us that she didn't know it was plagiarism, we can pull out the certificate and say "yes, you did". We're hoping that it's more a preventative measure, though - that students see us taking it very seriously. Our students cannot pass one 200-level required course without doing this, and yes, I failed one student this spring when she couldn't pass it. We need to know that they know how to avoid plagiarism, and this is as close as we can come to a guarantee, I think.
