The University of the Western Cape implemented the use of Tii in 2008 to deter academic dishonesty. All students’ submissions are checked against the UWC local repository, online submissions as well as journals, periodicals and publications (including paid sites). Reports are generated within a one to twenty-four (1HR-24HRS) hours window period. Hence papers submitted will first be checked within the local Tii repository, prior to checking similarity text on the World Wide Web. For example, all universities build their own databases over a period of time. Turnitin (Tii) is an anti-plagiarism detection platform that compares text within a document to archived papers within the Tii database and the World Wide Web. This method is cumbersome and is unable to access soft copies within paid websites. Lecturers would repeat this process for each student submission. Traditionaltext review methods would require lecturers to copy-paste text into Google or the Google Scholar search engine.
