Join 📚 Mela's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Mela's read, .
He led her into the darkened house, and she stumbled on a low table. She giggled and he laughed.

Finally, the OU does use two technological means to detect plagiarism, <a href="http://cflsoftware.com/?page_id=57">CopyCatch</a> and <a href="http://turnitin.com/static/index.html">Turnitin</a>, on a proportion of submitted work. However, this is only used to flag up possible cases that are then reviewed by a human. The third form of detection is that tutors marking the students' work can often spot problems. However, overall, the amount of plagiarism detected at the OU seems to be lower than that reported elsewhere. It is interesting to speculate why that might be.
