A growing body of research suggests that assessing the process of learning, rather than just the final product, is the best way to prevent academic misconduct. Authentic assessments, which involve real-world applications and student presence, can promote deep learning while minimising the risk of misconduct.
Our webinar will explore proven strategies to deter academic misconduct and specifically, contract cheating and AI-based ghostwriting, showcasing three award-winning examples of authentic assessments from RMIT University and Griffith University.
