PLATO makes no assumptions about prior knowledge and gives learners a common grounding in basic principles regardless of discipline studied, previous background or educational level. It deals with basic definitions, problem situations and the consequences of plagiarism in student, professional and public life. It also develops skills in basic referencing through onscreen practice and feedback.
PLATO is also suitable for use as an individual self-study package.
