Free Virtual Academic Integrity Conference November 6th

October 08, 2020 / Instructional Design Team

The Southeast chapter of the International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI) is hosting a FREE conference on Nov. 6, and you’re invited to present! Technically, USF (via ATLE) is hosting this conference, and it's all online.

WHO: higher education faculty, staff who support integrity, high school teachers, and both graduate and undergraduate students

WHAT: Synchronous online presentations, only 15 minutes long, that emphasize the sharing of practices, examples, and case studies. These are NOT research presentations.

WHEN: Friday, Nov. 6, from 2pm to 5pm (Eastern)

WHERE: fully online

We think a wide variety of presentations by different audiences would be a fit for this conference:

Staff and Administrators

integrity policies and honor codes
policy adjustments made for the switch to remote learning
establishing a culture of integrity amongst students
onboarding and training of incoming students
remediation efforts for students caught cheating

Faculty, Instructors, and Teachers

assignments and strategies to prevent cheating
adjusting assignments with academic integrity in mind for the remote and/or online environment
technology used to uncover cheating (plagiarism detection, proctoring software)
plagiarism, self-plagiarism, unintentional plagiarism
contract cheating (papers for hire)
exposing students’ new cheating techniques (including Chegg, GroupMe, etc)
ethics of reporting/non-reporting students once caught

Students

creating a peer culture of integrity
reporting on students who cheat (and/or the ethics around reporting)
ways student organizations, clubs, government, and individuals can alter campus culture on integrity
