High Stakes

Extrinsic Motivation

Low Self- "Princess Alice is watching you": Children's belief in an invisible person inhibits cheating Efficacy

Do students cheat more online vs F2F? No significant difference.

Cheating is not solely the fault of our students or the declining ethical standards of the millennial generation, but a product of our testing-oriented and performance- obsessed culture.

Who’s watching? Physical & Virtual Proctoring

In-person proctoring During exams In-Class Testing Center Clickers Reservation & Fee required Register with http://www.todayifoundout.com/

Virtual & High-Tech Approaches • Remote in-person proctoring • Virtual recording for review • Algorithm identifies suspicious behaviors • Typing style identification • Fingerprint & face recognition • Text-matching • Writing style identification

What’s the cost? Campus resource requirements

Is there another way? Instructional Design Strategies

Much of the research and advice on cheating... focuses on the learner, and on how we can better police or modify the learner.

[But] the amount of cheating that takes place in an educational situation may very well depend on the structure of the learning environment . From Cheating Lessons, James M. Lang

learn lərn / verb 1. gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in (something) by study, experience, or being taught. Merriam-Webster

Faculty showcase Academic integrity strategies

Designs that promote academic integrity Instructional design principles and strategies Foster Intrinsic Focus on Learning over Motivation Performance Academic Integrity Lower Assessment Instill Self- Efficacy Stakes (James M. Lange, 2013)

Focus on mastery over performance In this class we focus on the pursuit of understanding .

Remove the competition from grades

Lower assessment stakes The more pressure put on a single exam, the more likely a student will use any means necessary to succeed on it.

Foster intrinsic motivation My course has more to offer than just the extrinsic reward of a grade.

Instill self-efficacy I have something wonderful to teach you. I am going to challenge you. You are capable of meeting that challenge.

Metacognitive Surveys Knowing what you know • Surveys, not tests • Ask about familiarity • Preview test content areas • Provide focus for studying

The environments which reduce the incentive and opportunity to cheat... will lead to greater and deeper learning by your students. From Cheating Lessons
