About two-thirds of students admit to plagiarizing material. Faculty are expected to know better, but they do it, too. How should universities respond?
There has been a huge amount of speculation about what ChatGPT means for university study. But has actually been happening? A new survey looks at the first semester with this new technology.
Some fear ChatGPT will increase student cheating. But education academics say it can also save time preparing lessons and create new opportunities for learning.
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.

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 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.
