The role of technology in academic dishonesty is in the news, and federal legislation is pending that will require authentication of online learners. This session will provide information, examples, and a reality check for staff and faculty working in online education.  

Participants will: 

  • Explore why and how students cheat
  • Review faculty beliefs regarding cheating and online education,
  • Review tools and techniques to deter and detect cheating and plagiarism.
  • Understand a three-pronged approach to addressing academic integrity: policing (catching and punishing cheaters), prevention (designing courses and assignments that discourage cheating), and virtue (creating learning communities in which students do not want to cheat). 


Minimum Estimated Time Commitment:

~ 5 - 10 hours/week

Resources Provided in the Workshop:

  • 3+ hours of presentations as well as exemplary courses, viewable online until December 31st, 2009
  • 1-hour Live Panel Discussions - Times TBD
  • During the Panel Discussion - Participation in Live Q&A
