Facilitators: Dr Christine Slade & A/Prof Susan Rowland
Contract cheating website services are a serious threat to academic integrity in universities because they challenge the authenticity of student authorship in assessment. Current plagiarism detection strategies do not catch contract cheating students because their purchased assessment responses are individualised and users’ details are hidden behind sophisticated fire walls. In response we need to ensure that students genuinely complete work for which they get university credit.
In this workshop we aim to bring together the creative minds of academics, learning designers and others’ experienced in assessment design to work on practical ways to strengthen the verification of student identity in undertaking high stake assessment tasks other than exams.
