I think the concern may actually be related to work done by two or more peo=
ple and worries about one of the people doing all of the work. If that is =
the case, you can look at a revision history for any Google Doc and you wil=
l see when edits were made and what user was logged in to make the edits. =
Also, you can restore a document to a previous version, very handy.

Subject: Re: Google Docs
How do they know who is writing the paper when it is assigned for work outs=
ide of class if they aren't using Google docs? Unless you are standing ove=
r the person writing as they write, you never know with assurance who is wr=
iting the paper. Seriously, even checking handwriting is worthless because=
someone else may have written a draft that the student is just copying ove=
r.
Turnitin.com provides a useful tool in helping assure authentic work.
Good luck!
