This project details the design of a game, "Plagiarism Room," aimed at educating students on academic integrity and the avoidance of plagiarism. The game functions as a learning management system and writing aid, emphasizing grammar, writing style, and content originality. The project explains the game's instructions, highlighting its features such as plagiarism detection tools and guidance on proper citation. It also discusses the skills necessary for game development, including communication, creativity, and IT skills, and the importance of academic integrity in educational and professional settings.

BMP3003 Further Academic Skills
An explanation of why academic
integrity at University is so important
Academic integrity have a significant role in
maintaining an ethical environment in universities &
workplaces. There are various scholarship
conventions and learning responsibilities allotted to
students while performing their academic work.
For students: Students who study
or aspire any form of certificate or degree in college
have different aspirations & do not prefer following
every rule of university. Therefore, it becomes a
challenge for university professionals to assist these
students with maintaining academic integrity.
Majorly student unions are created at higher
education institution's are a result of friendships.
Using various tools to find out academic misconduct
if any amongst these unions they lead to loss of
sense amongst those groups. Academic integrity
from universities include regular checks of any
misconducts, plagiarism, collusion or falsification of
documents. Therefore, it is important for universities
to have academic integrity to maintain their brand
image and good reputation in education sector.
Game Design Skills used to produce the game
There are different skills which is required
to develop a game that helps to avoid plagiarism (Ke,
2016). Game development require skills like IT skills,
creativity, problem solving, communication skills. All these
kills has helps me to develop Plagiarism Room game which
issued to detect plagiarism and include instruction to avoid
plagiarism. These skills are as follows:
Communication skills: Communication
skills is developed by me to effectively represent thoughts
and ideas in game (Nunes, Nisi and Rennert, 2016). It helps
me to explain instruction to use this game. Communication
skills in game is most important as it shape the
development process of game.
Creativity and Culture: Game
development process require creativity as it is important to
develop different game. I explore my creativity in this task
which is helpful to avoid plagiarism. This game will helps
user to avoid plagiarism and also is convenient. I also need
to understand preference and taste of people who are going
to use this game.
