Abstract

The purpose of carrying out this research project is to resolve the following objective which is to examine the existing algorithm for developing a Similarity Checking System, to determine the best possible algorithm for the Similarity Checking System and lastly to develop a prototype for the Similarity Checking System. It is necessary to resolve these mentioned issues because the developer need to how to create a prototype for a Similarity Checking System to work, to identify which algorithm is suitable for this project and lastly a prototype of the Similarity Checking System has to be develop in order to determine the feasibility and the improvement to be added to the Similarity Checking System to suit the use of the tutor. The main features of the system is to provide course management for the tutor as well as providing similarity checking functionality for plagiarism detection purposes among the students. The modules that will be included into the were being included into the final product would be the User Management Module, Course Management Module, Session Management Module, Assessment Management Module, File Management Module and Report Generation Module. The methodology used to develop this project is a throwaway prototype and was developed using the PHP programming language with Netbeans as the compiler. Overall, this project will allowed the tutor to have full control over the data that they want to compare instead of comparing everything in the database and to help the tutor to easily identify the students that are committing plagiarism by providing useful statistical data for the tutor to make better decision making.
