Have you WORDLED lately?

In my last, I mentioned that occasionally I find something which looks useful, but I'm not entirely sure how it might be used.  The most recent of these is Wordle. Wordle describes it self a

...toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.

It does what it says it does, but I think it can be more than a toy.  I plan to try to see what it tells me about student writing, or perhaps it would be better to say what it can tell students about their own writing.  It can tell us a bit about Roger Williams University's official writing, too.

Here's a Wordle I created from the text of the Pledge of Academic Integrity.

And here's a Wordle I created from the Description of Definitions and Policy

 One can tweak a Wordle by removing words or by limiting words.  I haven't done that above.  What you see is what I got.  Some things are not particularly surprising, Academic shrinks, Plagiarism dominates.  But if these are suppose to be definitions and policy,  and the pledge also includes assisting one another and mutual support, wouldn't it make sense to define the positives as well as the negatives?  What are the bounds of legitimate support and assistance?  Are violations of these aspects of the pledge Aristotelian, in that one can violate by assisting too little as well as assisting too much?

Sounds like a Socrates Cafe debate to me.
