Beyond Algiarism: Rethinking Assessment Practices to Foster Academic Integrity

  • When:
    May 4, 2023 10:00am to 11:30am

You are all invited to join in a dynamic and informative session on May 4, sponsored by the Academic Integrity Community of Practice (CoP). Dr. Martine Peters from the Université du Québec en Outaouais will share a presentation titled Beyond Algiarism: Rethinking assessment practices to foster academic integrity. The CoP meeting will take place through Teams.

Dr. Peters is the recipient of a seven-year Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and is currently leading a research study, Partnership on University Plagiarism Prevention (PUPP), with 59 international researchers. The presentation will be followed by a discussion and consideration of Dr. Martine's work and what we are doing here at Humber College. If you would like to attend this session please contact Jennie at jennie.miron@humber.ca.

Abstract

Given the rapid development of artificial intelligence, faculty members everywhere are worried about the challenges of fostering students’ learning and academic integrity. In addition to plagiarism, faculty are now facing AIgiarism, an academic fraud where students submit assignments produced by AI.  

Artificial intelligence tools are already able to produce many traditional assessment tasks. To ensure that students will learn from doing their assignments, with or without AI, current assessment practices must be revised. Faculty must design assessment tasks that will develop students’ skills, creativity, and integrity.  

In this presentation, an assessment model will be presented to show how authenticity and creativity must become fundamental characteristics of assessment planning if students are to write with integrity. A group discussion will follow the presentation.

Untethered - Bachelor of Industrial Design Thesis Show 2023
View in full page
  • When:
    April 28, 2023 6:00pm to 9:30pm
Where:
North Campus, Barrett CTI

The Senior Level Thesis Project is the culmination of the Industrial Design student’s career here at Humber. It is the result of continuous development over the course of the academic year leading to this capstone project. Students graduating this year have learned to be adaptable and embrace change, switching seamlessly between in-person and digital studies. They have become dynamic in their skill sets by adjusting to new tools and design methods as the situation calls for it. This need for continuous learning has become ingrained into their design process, allowing them to become untethered from their current experiences and knowledge. These students are not afraid to take risks or take the plunge into the unknown – they are up for the challenge.

Humber’s Bachelor of Industrial Design class of 2023 is excited to present to you their “untethered” projects at this year’s Thesis Show. Please join us in celebrating our students' achievements at the Barrett CTI (save the date) to be held on Friday, April 28, 2023.

Resilience means to bounce back, to recover quickly from difficulty. Interior design graduates are prepared to face any design problem they are presented with.

Designers are constantly proposing new ideas and advancements to aid in post-pandemic recovery as well as recovery from other catastrophic events. To have resilience as designers, we pursue success by bouncing back from challenges and providing designs for a better world.

The Bachelor of Interior Design graduating class of 2023 will strive to design a resilient world. The future is resilience, the future is us.
