Making It Hard To Cheat (In-Person)
10/14/2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
How can we design courses and assignments that discourage or make it difficult to cheat? Although cheating will continue to be a persistent problem, the research on cheating suggests that there are predictable conditions that can induce cheating. At this session, we’ll explore the research on cheating in higher education and use it to devise strategies to reduce cheating and even improve students’ overall performance in our courses by fostering their own intrinsic motivations to learn deeply in our classes.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to:
- Articulate the factors that can induce cheating in the classroom
- Describe at least one strategy for discouraging cheating through assignment design
This session is online and will be facilitated by Ian Althouse, Senior Assistant Director at CTL.
