has now been renamed as ‘WebLearn User Group’. Visit
the site at https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/portal/hierarchy/info/

WebLearn Team Member Wins Slogan
Competition!
At the 4 th International Plagiarism conference hosted by
iParadigms Europe in Newcastle in June, a competition
was held for attendees to write for slogans warning
students against plagiarism.
WebLearn team member Dr Jill Fresen submitted 3
three slogans and the first one was chosen as a winner!
Congratulations Jill.
Jill’s winning slogan poster (’Is your degree worth
peanuts?’) is now available as a poster from the
plagiarismadvice.org website. Why not download it and
display it in your department or college?
A face-to-face meeting of the WLUG takes place once
a term. The cream tea after the meeting has become a
popular tradition! Be sure to take note of the date each
term, which is announced on the WLUG WebLearn site,
and book a place at the meeting:
www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/itlp/courses/detail/TOVD
The face-to-face meetings enable WebLearn users to
come together to share ideas and practices and to hear
about recent and future developments in WebLearn.
It is an opportunity for users to voice their ideas and
suggestions in order to inform the ongoing development
and support of the system.
Guest speakers give a short informal presentation
about how WebLearn works for them. Presentations
are recorded and will be available in due course on the
WLUG site. The speakers who will be presenting at the
Hilary Term 2011 meeting are:
• Dave Waters, University Lecturer in Metamorphic
Petrology, Department of Earth Sciences
• History of Art: a multiple site model. Presenters: Rachel
Woodruff (Administrator) and Victoria Brown (Visual
Resources Curator), Department of the History of Art.
Rachel and Victoria are joint winners of the OxTalent
WebLearn award, and a 2010 Oxford University
Teaching Award.
The date for Hilary Term 2011 and speaker topics will be
announced on the WebLearn site.
