BMP3003 Project: Designing 'Plago Out' Game for Academic Integrity

The 'Plago Out' game design project addresses the critical issue of plagiarism in academic settings by developing an engaging game to promote academic integrity. The game, designed with students in mind, incorporates a spin-the-wheel mechanic to generate essay topics, requiring students to write within specified time and word constraints. Submitted essays are evaluated for plagiarism, and students receive rewards based on their performance, incentivizing original work. The project highlights the importance of academic integrity in fostering an effective university environment, enhancing institutional reputation, and promoting personal development. The design leverages game mechanics to instill values of honesty and ethical behavior, ultimately reducing plagiarism and cultivating a culture of academic excellence. References to relevant academic literature on plagiarism and academic integrity are included to support the project's rationale and design choices. Desklib provides access to similar past papers and solved assignments for students.

BMP3003 Further Academic Skills
Academic integrity refers to the expectation of academy from their
teachers, students and other staff members to work in the
organisation with honesty and morale. It states that the interested
persons of academy to not perform any activity or act which is
harmful for the integrity of academic. Plagiarism plays a major
role to provide negative impact on academic integrity because it
makes negative impact of institution in front of outsiders.
Performance of those institutions where most of the students has a
habit of plagiarism decreases and their ranking in all colleges
becomes down.
Helps to minimise plagiarism :- Academic integrity enables
different interested person of an organisation to work with
supremacy and honesty. Students of colleges and universities work
with honesty and don't perform any activity which makes negative
impact on integrity. This feeling of student helps them to present
their own work and reduces their habit of plagiarism.
Effective environment in university :- It is very important to
make the environment of institution effective and this can be done
only by developing academic integrity. Academic integrity enables
the students to perform those activities which are favourable for
university and this makes the environment of institution supportive
for all parties of university.
