What is this and how is it done?

Hi

I'm a teacher and while reading one of my students’ papers I found this (the colors).
It seems to be some kind of hidden text. I can read it in Google Docs. But in word it is hidden. I can get word to read it to me, but the text is hidden. It seems to be some kind of attempt of hiding a text, so it would not get noticed as plagiarism. Does anyone know how that is done.

        I can see, that if i download the document from the link, the hidden text gets revealed. i have to download it and open the document in the word program, not web based word for the text to disapear, as seen in the screenshot.
