Plagiarism can be a big problem in academic institutions and confirming something has been plagiarized can be just as difficult. Plaguim is a tool that seeks to help expedite that search process.
Paste some text suspected of plagiarism into Plagiums text field and it spits out a nice timeline graph of all instances that it has been used along with a percentage which shows how accurate the two content chunks are to one another.
How can Plagium be used in education?
I think it is fairly obvious that the main purpose of Plagium is to see if any students are plagiarizing content. As an extension you could use it to check to see if your own works have been plagiarized when and by how much.
