Welcome 2 my deaf world

Presents the story of two students at the Victorian College for the Deaf (VCD). They are Bethany Rose and Scott Masterson, two ordinary teenagers, who live in the extraordinary world of the deaf. But, to both, it is a world of rich culture, full of human possibility. It has its own language, Auslan, with its own rules, challenges and inspirations. It is a culture which very few people know or fully understand. This documentary gives footage of the last few months of Bethany and Scott's schooling at the college. These teenagers have dreams of success in life, and are eager to enter the wider world. The Victorian College for the Deaf is the first school for deaf kids, as well as being the only school in Australia where the Australian sign language (Auslan) is used from Prep to Year 12, helping its students prepare for life in the adult world.

Proactive tools for combating plagiarism : an investigation

Academic integrity is an essential graduate attribute with ignorance of the problem of plagiarism in students’ work not being an option. This study resulted from increasing concern that the prevalence of plagiarism in assessment submitted by students is on the rise and shows no sign of abating. This study supports the provision of assessment designed to specifically focus student’s attention on improving their ability to both recognise plagiarism and avoid it in their written work. All students in both the investigated courses were invited to participate in a post-assessment, electronically-administered survey consisting of sixteen questions regarding the students’ experience regarding their assessment. This study was designed to achieve two purposes - to gain insight into whether providing tertiary students with extra feedback regarding their referencing improves their confidence with respect to referencing and reduces their propensity to plagiarise as well as to increase our understanding of what factors underlie student plagiarism. The results indicate that a considerable number of the students found the assessment of assistance with respect to improving their referencing confidence. In addition, a significant proportion of the students indicated that their understanding of what constitutes plagiarism and their confidence in avoiding plagiarism improved as a result of the assignment and its associated feedback.
