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.
