Please join us at the CIS 720 Seminar tomorrow — Monday, March 1 (4:30p-5:30p HST) for a talk about library resources by Michael-Brian Ogawa on “Developing an ethos of academic integrity with automated systems”.
Title: Developing an ethos of academic integrity with automated systems
Abstract:
Academic honesty is a serious concern for many educators in higher education institutions. The rise of access to information via the Internet increased student temptation and ability to copy content into work increased at a high rate, where the International Center for Academic Integrity reported astounding statistics for academic honesty issues based on survey data from 2002 to 2015. Of the 71,300 undergraduate respondents, 39% admitted to cheating on tests, 62% admitted to cheating on written assignments and 68% cheated on either tests or written work. Approximately 17,000 graduate students responding to the same survey, where 17% admitting to cheating on tests, 40% admitted cheating on written assignments and 42% admitted cheating on tests or written assignments.
This talk will include the development and implementation of an automated academic honesty on-line system to combat plagiarism and create an ethos of academic integrity. It includes its initial implementation, expansion to K-12 schools and higher education libraries, and international collaborative implementation. The speaker will also discuss research and implementation partnerships strategies.
