- use page objects
- use id attributes rather than structural locators
- implicit waits can help, but are also semi-evil

Abstract: Plagiarism is a global issue that needs to be addressed by all educators and learners. This paper considers a simple definition of plagiarism, and then briefly considers reasons why students plagiarise. At Unitec NZ, Te Puna Ako: The Centre for Teaching and Learning Innovation (TPA:CTLI) is working closely with faculty, managers, student support services and library personnel to introduce strategies and tools that can be integrated into programmes and curricula whilst remaining flexible enough to be tailored for specific learners. The authors therefore provide an overview of one of the tools available to check student work for plagiarism - Turnitin - and describe the academic Professional Development (PD) approaches that have been put in place to share existing expertise, as well as help staff at Unitec NZ to use the tool in pedagogically informed ways, which also assist students in its use. Evaluation and results are considered, before concluding with some recommendations. It goes on to theorise how blended programmes that fully integrate academic literacy skills and conventions might be used to positively scaffold students in the avoidance of plagiarism. Conference participants will be asked to comment on and discuss their institutions' approach to supporting the avoidance of plagiarism (including the utilisation of PDS and other deterrents), describe their own personal experiences, and relate the strategies they employ in their teaching practice and assessment design to help their learners avoid plagiarism. It is planned to record the session so that the audience's narratives can be shared with other practitioners.

Making users happy is a goal that unifies everyone on the team. The key then is to establish metrics that reflect user happiness. In the world of performance, we haven’t always done a great job of this. Often, performance metrics track how our pages are built which might not be correlated with a joyous user experience, and we start optimizing our stack for the sake of optimizing our stack. Luckily, momentum is building around UX-centered metrics such as start render time, time-to-interact, and first meaningful paint. Steve Souders discusses these new metrics that help us build web apps that produce the fast, joyous experiences our users want.

My life is, is like a reality show. My name is Amy Anderson (laughing in background). The things that go on at my house with my child and Family, from my brother shooting squirrels and the dog going to role in the stench, to my child yelling and fussing about her Popsicle fell in the toilet! Like, we just have constant drama in my home. And I love reality TV, so my life seems like a hillbilly meets Hollywood reality TV show (laughing in background). My degree program is Graphic Design. I chose that because I felt like it is the personally the most fun and best way to displays my art and design skills to the entire world in some form or fashion. I not only love working with computers but also like building things out of wood, painting, making jewelry, sewing, cooking, and training dogs. The talents combined definitely have helped me decide the path for my future. I guess you could say I am
in the work mode catorgaterised as a Multipotentialite. I would like to tell you a little about myself. I am originally from Richmond Virginia and moved to Amelia Virginia when I was 13 years old. I graduated from Amelia county high school in 2005. It took me a long time to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. I knew it would of course have something to do with art but wasn’t exactly sure how to go about it. That is when I found out about Fullsail and sighed up for the graphic design program. I would be siked to work for a company such as the martin agency. They are located in Richmond va and have clients such as Gieco, Coolwhip, Discover, and many more. The reason I would like to work for them is because they are a laid back crazy, creative fun bunch of people to work for. They design brands, logos, magazine spreads, advertisements, and commercials. I feel I could bring fun and creative ideas to the table. My brand mantra statement is “Life isn’t about finding yourself, is about creating yourself” the reason for this brain mantra is because it really makes you take a step back and realize you must do something to get something positive in your life. Nothing comes free these days and you are your own superhero. I really feel with the skills I’m attaining and working for every day I will be able to offer the industry concepts and ideas creating professional designs. Success is definitely a top priority in life. The meaning of success for me is to accomplish my set goals and purpose. Well, that’s all I got for now thank you for your time! I look forward to working with you in the near future, farewell.¬
