Some fear ChatGPT will increase student cheating. But education academics say it can also save time preparing lessons and create new opportunities for learning.
Teachers and university professors have relied heavily on ‘one and done’ essay assignments for decades. Requiring students to submit drafts of their work is one needed shift.

Research about both social and technical aspects of work can guide critical thinking about when and how business leaders and MBA students might use generative AI.
In Indonesia, contract cheaters take advantage of a culture of academic competition, a lack of legal clarity, and the move to online testing and assignments.
AI models can now produce meaningful responses to exam and assignment questions. We’ll have to embrace them if we want the next few years to go smoothly.
Australian scientists are no more honest or dishonest than those in other countries that have national bodies to investigate research fraud. We have a sport integrity watchdog but not one for research.
An estimated one in ten Australian tertiary students have paid a so-called contract cheating service to do their work for them. What most don’t think about is the risk of being blackmailed later.
If a piece of writing was 49 per cent written by AI, with the remaining 51 per cent written by a human, is this original work?

Recent allegations of cheating by university students in online exams suggest the students are adapting faster than the education system itself – and that should change.
The shift online demonstrated the convenience of distance learning and has convinced some learners, including workers and unemployed people, to study.

The forced transition to online university learning will mean teaching practices will be permanently changed.
Testing and exam proctoring methods that invade privacy and erode trust undermine the very integrity that institutions demand students uphold.

Equity and privacy problems with online proctoring reflect a larger issue: Students look to universities to set an example of integrity.
Violations of academic integrity show Canada is not immune to academic misconduct — and more research is needed to effectively ensure academic quality.

Many countries monitor higher education at the federal level, partly to take a systemic approach to overseeing academic integrity. Why not Canada?
We need to have a more nuanced discussion about threats to academic freedom – not just a heavily polarised debate based on a poorly constructed audit.

The Institute for Public Affairs’ audit of academic freedom pits people either for or against universities. This prevents us from having thorough conversations about real threats to academic freedom.
You’d think that studying online would make it easier to cheat. But don’t jump to conclusions.

Online students tend to be older, which might explain why new data suggest they’re less likely to cheat. But even with these data, the evidence is mixed.
University students can cheat on any type of assessment.

African academics and universities have been caught in the predatory journal web. It’s time for the continent’s universities to start taking this threat to their integrity seriously.
Three threats loom before intercollegiate football.
