Presenter(s):

Description:

Teaching Integrity: Effective Responses to Cheating (webinar and "brown bag" lunch)

It could be a paper downloaded from the Web, roving eyes during an exam or the fifth student to lose a grandparent in one week … Whether you teach at a public or private institution, you’re bound to run into academic dishonesty sooner or later. So how can we respond to it effectively, or even prevent it in the first place?

Learn a proactive approach to dealing with cheating in Teaching Integrity: Effective Responses to Cheating. During this seminar Dr. Tricia Bertram Gallant will review the common myths and misunderstandings about student cheating that limit your ability to respond effectively to the problem, and teach you a way forward based on teaching.

You’ll learn how to stop ignoring cheating, due to concerns about policing and bureaucratic entanglements, and start focusing on your critical role teaching tomorrow’s professionals about integrity and ethics.

Teaching Integrity: Effective Responses to Cheating will help you change your perspective and practice to promote student integrity, and show you how a positive approach can prevent negative consequences.

You’ll learn different ways to think about cheating, such as:

  • Switching from a “crime and punishment” approach to emphasizing teaching and learning
  • Examining your teaching to see if it encourages or facilitates cheating
  • Identifying your typical response to cheating.

    • You’ll come away with techniques you can implement right away, including:

  • New teaching strategies to encourage academic integrity and reduce cheating
  • New responses to cheating designed to create opportunities for student learning
  • Behavior you can model to demonstrate academic integrity in action.

    • An Active Approach to Teaching Academic Integrity: Bertram Gallant favors an energetic, conversational style in her presentations and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to get actively involved in this audio online seminar. The 90 minutes of this session will be divided evenly between lecture, learning activities and a Q&A session.

    You’ll take home materials you can use to start teaching academic integrity right away, such as questions for self-assessment, do’s and don’ts and blank versions of worksheets you can adapt to your situation.
