I am an online instructor at a Community College. I ask that students to
submit files by email. When students email me files (Word, PP, Excel; Office 2003 and Office 2007) the Created date is stamped but the Modified and Accessed date changes to reflect the current day. This makes it impossible to assess the authorship and protect the integrity work if all the students start with the same pre-created file. Believe it or not (wink, wink) I have had students sumbit eachother's work as their own. Short of asking that students submit files on a disk, is there a way for the Modified date to be static and not change when emailed or downloaded? Are there any other ways to detect or prevent plagiarism with WinXP or Office. Other than Compare and Merge or File Properties. |

I would appreciate the answer to this -- or at least a reference to where I
might find it. I searched this newsgroup -- didn't find it. Is it in another? Thank you. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kathryn Groves "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

Suzanne
I don't think this was from the original poster. Another reason not to multi-post! Terry "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Don't *you* remember where you posted? -- Suzanne S.

Hi Kate
The answer I gave was... You can get meta data analysis tools that will let you track loads of information such as which PC(s) it was opened or edited on and who was logged in, the times of edit , by whom and other incriminating evidence. But it also easy to sanitize a document - especially in Word 2007 - so that you can find absolutely nothing (although that in itself is pretty incriminating evidence). g Kids are very intelligent and if you even hint that you can analyse their work and see who has been plagiarising, VERY quickly they will find the sanitising tools. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Kate G." wrote in message ...
