Fostering Academic Integrity
The Prevent, Detect, and Respond page and CTL’s Academic Integrity page offers practical and evidenced-based strategies to encourage academic integrity and make cheating more difficult in both assignments and tests. A collection of interactive slides outline key reasons students resort to plagiarism and specific strategies to address those motives. Sample wording for Academic Integrity Statements is also provided.
Turnitin
Turnitin is a tool that assists in the detection of plagiarism. By comparing student submissions against a series of databases, Turnitin can provide useful information for instructors to determine the originality of a student assignment. Turnitin can be enabled in the Assignments tool in Brightspace. See the Understanding the Turnitin Similarity Report guide for more information.
Online Proctoring
Online proctoring can provide virtual invigilation of exams, but raises many issues, both technological, as well as with privacy and equity. The University of Windsor is exploring options for online proctoring of exams.
