Dixon Zackary Dixon and Kelly George, both teachers from the Aeronautical University of Embry-Riddle Aeronautics, were at a meeting of the faculty and commotion on the hero of the course, students of a website use to load and share documents Related to their courses, when an idea came to them. What would happen if an automated form of helping teachers identify the content of their courses that had been shared on the site and requesting their elimination?
Professors have been concerned about the risk of cheating students raised by students who share copyright documents, including evidence and testing, in the hero of the course, which is billed as "An online learning platform of course-specific study resources".
Ask any faculty member if they know about the hero of the course, and they will say: "I have heard a little about it, but tell me more," said George, Associate Professor at El College of Embry Aeronautics -Riddle, who has his main campuses in Arizona and Florida. "Open your laptop and say: 'What course do you teach?' Strips that and you see 900 or 1,200 artifacts "- Documents related to the course:" And you can look condemously through them.

Dixon and George have worked with computer science. Students develop a tool that they call rabbit, a personalized search engine looking for a course hero for documents related to Embry-Riddle courses and copyrown applications from automotive copyright. At the end of last week, the search engine had risen to 237,293 traceable artifacts to Embry-Riddle, according to George.
"Cursursro.com seems to have a specific verbase that means a property threshold on artifacts," said Dixon. "Finding reliably the limits of property about academic content will be a complex process. That process is a key part of the future and key development."
