How to Detect & Reduce Violations of Academic Integrity

Plagiarism: Not citing sources, using quotation marks

• Turnitin can be used
• Use is not limited to papers - Can be used for discussion boards, essay exam questions, etc.

Reusing: Submitting the same work for more than one course

• As more faculty at UIS use Turnitin, this can be more easily detected
• Turnitin identifies course and semester, access to paper can be requested by original instructor

Authenticity: Having another student take your exam for you

• How are we ensuring that the student is the one completing the exam?
• How are we authenticating our online students?
• Examity can be used to provide two-factor authentication

Cheating During Remote Exams

• LockDown Browser can help, but can be easily circumvented!
• Examity can be used to strengthen test integrity
• Are all of your online students getting equal testing environments?
  • When various proctors are used, not all students have the same exam environment.
  • Not all proctors treat proctoring equally!
