"Draftback is a Chrome extension that indexes the revision history of a document then allows you to watch a video of the doc being created.  You can watch as a document goes from a blank page to the final version that was submitted for a grade.  This is helpful on two fronts: 1. Clicking the document graph and statistics will show you exactly how much time each student spent creating the file.  This makes it very easy to see who participated in a group assignment. 2. Think a student plagiarized something?  You can watch to see if large portions of text were pasted onto the document from an outside source.  This is a great way to keep the student's honest."
