The Indiana University Plagiarism Tutorials and Tests (IPTAT) were originally designed as an online resource for students in Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University Bloomington. That was in 2002. IPTAT was soon discovered and adopted by instructors outside of IST—eventually from all over the world.
A revised version of IPTAT is still in use in 2023. Millions of students around the world have benefited from IPTAT instruction. Over a million students have passed one of the trillions of difficult Certification Tests since 2016.
This chapter briefly summarizes the history of IPTAT over the past 21 years. While early usage of the legacy version of IPTAT is discussed, I largely focus on the newer design that was implemented in 2016 and on significant changes made in the past few years.
