Project: Designing an Academic Skills Game for Plagiarism Resistance

This project details the development of a game called "PLAG resistance" designed to enhance students' academic skills and promote academic integrity. The game aims to reduce plagiarism and other misconduct by presenting students with questions related to their assignments and projects. It is designed to provide ideas and guidance without allowing direct copying and pasting of content. The game requires students to input personal details and their assignment topics to tailor the content. The project also reflects on the importance of academic integrity, emphasizing honesty, trust, and respect in academic work. The author notes the development of communication skills through teamwork and collaboration during the game's design process. Resources like research papers on academic integrity are referenced, and the game serves as a tool to encourage ethical academic practices. Desklib provides access to similar student projects and study resources.

Academic integrity is the expectation
of teachers that their students will act
with honesty, trust and respect their
teachers. It also include that students
will not perform any misconduct
activity such as copying projects of
other student, cheating in exams and
few others.
Reflection on skills
Communication skill- I have
gained communication skill while
designing this game because
when I and my team was working
on this game then we
communicate well with each
other and we all share essential
information with actual facts. I
have also learnt that I need to
listen appropriately what my team
mates are saying and respond
according to their question.
