CopyCatch Gold has been in use for many years in educational institutions both at department level and campus-wide and has a growing number of commercial users. It is primarily aimed at collusion detection, but can be used anywhere there is a requirement to check on the independent production of documents. It can handle large class sizes very quickly and provides immediate feedback, making it suitable for classroom or one-to-one use.
CopyChecker, which comes free with CopyCatch Gold, is designed to be used by students to learn how to use sources appropriately. It works best when used alongside CopyCatch. Both programs provide the same reports, but CopyChecker only allows the use of a limited number of sources, as is appropriate for answering an essay, and includes a Freehand page, where student can write without looking at their sources to discover how much more difficult it is to plagiarise accidentally if they don't have the books open in front of them.
5-star rated Collusion and Plagiarism detection program.
Campus Licencing Cost from around 10p per student per annum.
