Facilitated Discussion
The conversation surrounding academic integrity has always been challenging, particularly around institutional policy and the role technology plays. When the pandemic hit and institutions all around the world were forced to make a rapid shift to remote learning, we realized the need to reevaluate our current processes and perspectives on academic integrity. In this session, we will discuss the experiences at the University of Maryland Global Campus, the institution's approach to fostering a culture of academic integrity, the use of technology to support student success, as well as how campus leaders enhanced teaching and learning for faculty and students. This includes a shift away from deficit mindsets toward a policy that empowers faculty to treat academic misconduct as teachable moments, training on learning-focused use of technology, restorative approaches to decision-making regarding consequences for academic misconduct, and support resources for both faculty and students. These insights will be contextualized within global patterns in higher education and research that demonstrate successful development models for institutions and how those insights help drive innovation of student-centered learning tools like Turnitin’s Draft Coach.
