Can We Prevent a Technological Arms Race in University Student Cheating?
The pandemic elevated academic integrity issues (also known as. cheating) related to the authorship of digitally submitted assignments. In this context, authorship answers the question did the student actually complete any of the assignment/exam? There is now a large gray market out there in cheating services: companies offering options that range from databases of papers, to completing custom assignments, and up to and including attending online classes for students (with a guarantee of an A or B). To ensure academic integrity in an online educational world, what’s needed are innovative ways of ensuring authorship of digital work. Clearly, a technological arms race is bad for students and faculty—and for society at large. This column will survey the technologies that both sides use. We then touch on governance approaches, false positives, and threats to privacy.
