Denise Chalmers elected as HERDSA President-elect

Dear Colleagues

The call for nominations for President-elect closed on 5 March and as only one nomination was received no election for the President-elect is required.

I'm pleased to announce that Emeritus Professor Denise Chalmers from Western Australia is therefore elected as President for the term 2019-2021 and will serve as President-elect for 2018-2019.

Denise's election will be confirmed at the AGM in July at the HERDSA conference.

Denise is a long standing member of HERDSA and was elected to Life Membership in 2017.  Denise has over 25 years demonstrated leadership in higher education, leading two university Centres of Teaching and Learning as Director and was a Foundation Director of the Carrick Institute (later ALTC) with responsibility for Awards, Fellowships and International Links. She has served as President and Vice President, Council of Australian Directors of Academic Development (CADAD) from 2008-2014. She has led several institutional, national and international initiatives and projects including recognising and rewarding teaching, developing and embedding teaching quality criteria and indicators and promoting the use of performance indicators to guide decision making and resource allocation. Denise was awarded an OLT National Senior Teaching Fellowship in 2015 and an Australian OLT Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning in 2014.

I am sure you will agree that with Denise’s vast experience and connections both in Australasia and internationally, HERDSA will be in good hands.

Regards

Allan Goody
HERDSA President

International Journal for Educational Integrity - Call for Papers: Machine-based plagiarism
31 May 2018

Machine-based plagiarism: The death of originality in the digital age?
IJEI Editor-in-Chief: Tracey Bretag, University of South Australia
Guest Editor: Ann Rogerson, University of Wollongong

Paraphrasing tools, translation software and ‘article spinners’ are text-processing applications easily found and accessed via the Internet. Text, ranging from phrases through to longer documents such as essays, can be entered in one field and then ‘spun’, reprocessed or translated. The output from paraphrasing tools, article spinners and translation software can mislead people into thinking that these tools create a new form of original writing.

While the revised text may look different to the original, the tools usually produce poor quality outputs. Submitting the output for academic credit can be considered a form of plagiarism, and where researchers use the tools to reprocess their existing work, outputs can be considered to be a form of self-plagiarism. The errors and inconsistencies in the output from paraphrasing and translation tools may not be obvious to students studying in a second language (Rogerson & McCarthy, 2017). In some cases, the outputs mimic the language patterns evident in second language writing with the result that this form of plagiarism may not be detected.

This thematic collection offers the opportunity to explore the use of paraphrasing tools, article spinners, translation software and automated text processing as an emerging threat to academic integrity.

Deadline for submission: 31 May 2018
Submitted papers will be reviewed in a timely manner and published directly after acceptance (i.e. without waiting for the accomplishment of all other contributions). Thanks to the International Journal for Educational Integrity (IJEI) Open Access Policy, the articles published in this thematic collection will have a wide, global audience. Author Processing Fees will be waived for the best papers in the collection, subject to the double-blind peer review outcome and the Editors’ discretion.
