Academic Integrity: it’s everyone’s responsibility
A workshop to share practice around identifying and preventing plagiarism
27th June 2022
We all have a role to play in the assessment process. Whether you’re an academic setting an assignment, a PhD student marking scripts, a course administrator supporting the VLE, a learning technologist maintaining the Turnitin plugin, a student records manager or exams officer, etc, etc. The BLE’s Academic Study Skills for Student’s Group organised this workshop to allow colleagues to share examples from their own experiences, and to find out how other institutions are managing and supporting academic integrity by seeking to prevent plagiarism. Over 70 colleagues from the BLE partner institutions joined us for this lively, online event.

BLESS meeting: Fair Dealing
24th February 2022
This special BLESS* Group meeting was a wonderfully informative and lively session focusing on what fair dealing means in practice in our context of Higher Education. Huge thanks to our fantastic speakers, Jane Secker (City) and Chris Morrison (Kent), who set the scene so perfectly for us; their slides are attached. This was followed by a lively panel discussion, chaired by Elizabeth Charles (Birkbeck) with Jane, Chris and additional panelists, Sam Ahern (UCL) and Stephen Penton (City). We also thank all the participants whose contributions resulted in a rich, valuable and energetic session.
