Someone on the LibOER mailing list is asking about software to check for plagiarism. He's looking for an "interactive online discussion platform". He needs a system that "monitors and grades student online discussions for an instructor" and "tracks down plagiarism and monitors open ended discussion". He gave a commercial example of https://www.packback.co/ So, here's an opportunity to give a school an alternative to a non-Free product and promote Free Software. Is there a Free Software solution that does the job? If not, how do we expect schools to give Free options or replace what they're using? We have the opportunity to replace a non-Free product with a Free one. If anyone knows of any Free alternatives for this or a project that would be willing to work on one, please let me know and all pass the information on to the LibOER mailing list. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
