PLAG-O-CARD: A Game Design for Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

This project details the design of an educational game called PLAG-O-CARD, aimed at teaching students about academic integrity and the dangers of plagiarism. The game involves teams answering questions and discussing strategies to avoid plagiarism within a time limit, judged by a panel. The design incorporates the game's rules, scoring system, and learning outcomes. The assignment focuses on the development of the game, the importance of critical thinking and provides a clear understanding of the concept of plagiarism and academic integrity. The solution also includes the skills gained while working on the game design assignment, such as PowerPoint presentations and resource management.
