Australia has a law against businesses offering assignments for sale to students, but that hasn’t stopped ‘contract cheating’. And new research shows it’s much more common than had been thought.

Despite what these tools may claim, remote invigilation isn’t the only answer to upholding academic integrity online. We share insights from our journey developing a proctor-free assessment platform.
A pair of recent cheating scandals—one in the “speedrunning” community of gamers, and one in medical research—call attention to an alarming contrast.

Unlike some of my peers, I'm not an opponent of the multiple-choice quiz. It's a convenient and efficient means of assessing e-learners, if it's done well. The problem, unfortunately, is that it's often done poorly. So poorly, in fact, it's embarrassing. At my workplace, I am regularly subjected to the multiple-choice quiz. In fact, over…

An estimated one in ten Australian tertiary students have paid a so-called contract cheating service to do their work for them. What most don’t think about is the risk of being blackmailed later.

My suggestions won’t really surprise anyone. We have to work to avoid setting our students up to fail, or placing them in moral hazard. Part of this is realistic admission standards and genuine resources and pathways to success for all whom we do admit.
Another part is reducing the high stakes nature of assessment wherever possible and a refocus on helping students value their learning and the skills they develop rather than them being forced to focus on their performance in a constant barrage of high stakes assessments. We also have to continue with our work on awareness about integrity, assessment design, and detection.
Given limited resources we will have to prioritise. One possibility is that we might prioritise investing more in programmatic – senior year – assessments, and rely on “assumed knowledge” in the early years. It may be foolish to attempt to grade everything, and certify every learning outcome in each educational snack from cradle to grave.
What is at stake here is significant. When students cheat they set out on a path which places fooling people above doing the right thing and above genuine personal learning and mastery. This damages them, at scale it damages society.
Whatever we do, I hope that a wide canvassing for new ideas, from the combined intelligence across our community, both students and staff, may suggest new assessment and credentialising approaches that will free us all from a permanent police state involving the ever growing costs and impacts of repeated assessment surveillance, and let us instead emphasise the love of learning.

In recent months we have frequently seen reports of cheating among students at colleges, universities and even military academies. Is this entirely the fault of students or are faculty contributing to the problem by emphasizing rote memory of facts, figures and formulas?
