Standing Up to Essay Mills - Running a Student-centric Campaign

She is the current Student President at City of Glasgow College, she was the Vice President for learning and teaching in 2020.
Session summary
This year, one of Bernie Savage's key aims has been to create a campaign that raises awareness about essay mills to keep students safe from these deceitful companies and ensure that every student is aware of and has access to the amazing support and services the College has to support them in their studies. The Students Association has worked with the College to raise awareness of academic integrity and essay mills and she will present an overview of the campaign and her plans moving forward.

Session summary
Cheating and in particular contract cheating has become a global issue and an increasingly serious global concern in recent years. With the pandemic and the pivot to online provision, this has provided further opportunities for unscrupulous cheating companies out there to reach our students, and to lure them into engagement. This talk describes the approach Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) has taken to contract cheating and academic misconduct in Ireland, both in regard to our regulatory remit, as set out in national legislation, and with a parallel approach to training, provision of information and education working in partnership with our broad range of stakeholders and partners both nationally, and internationally.
