There is a section about "What is academic integrity" which explains that it is about being honest and saying that it is your work. It is very detailed.

There are a few educational videos to explain what Plagiarism is. You need Quicktime to be able to see these.

In this app under the tools, there is another useful reference called "Recite" which assists students when they write their bibliography. Here you select the style from a drop box and other details and they will show you how to write the perfect list. They also have some style notes as well.

Another part of the app focuses on group work and what to do if someone in your group is not contributing to the assignment. They also talk about "unauthorzied collaboration".

The app also features some useful study tips which is written by the academics at Melbourne Uni.

There is also a quiz with 11 questions to help you to understand the referencing system and can give you immediate feedback.

Why fail when you don't need to?

Free from the iTunes store and Google play. So do get it whilst you can, as you'll be sorry if you don't.
