Despite authorities closing hundreds of university cheating websites, the purchasing of assignments continues apace.
The real number of students using artificial intelligence is likely far higher, experts say, with detection tools only able to catch unsophisticated cheats.
AI writing detectors like Turnitin and GPTZero suffer from false positives. Here’s the advice of academics, AI scientists and students on how to deal with it.
Think "international manhunt" and the image that likely springs to mind is that of a hardened criminal like a murderer, bank robber or billion-dollar fraudster -- not the middle-aged boss of a high school tuition center.
Academics will be trained to better detect cheating by students, following an explosion of referrals of commercial cheating websites to the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency
The pandemic’s disruption to students and education has given rise to contract cheating. One Australian university is trialling a new approach
AI is becoming more sophisticated, and some say capable of writing academic essays. But at what point does the intrusion of AI constitute cheating?
Universities say remote test-taking had “normalised cheating” as institutions relied heavily on monitoring software to detect misconduct.
Whistleblower claims some students have graduated without ever writing assignments.
This paper presents the outcomes of an online coin-tossing experiment evaluating cheating behavior among Ukrainian students. Over 1,500 participants were asked to make ten coin tosses and wer
In the post-COVID era of online assessments, “homework help” sites have been accused of becoming industrialised cheating factories — and it's making them rich.

In the desperate scramble to combat AI, there is a real danger of penalising students who have done nothing wrong, says Robert Topinka of Birkbeck, University of London
Academics have warned that students could be falsely accused of using the AI bot to write essays and complete coursework.

Academic integrity has been a sector wide issue for many decades. However, it has only been since the early 2000s that academics such as Tracey Bretag began driving a focus on reducing academic integrity breaches in higher education. In more recent times, as COVID-19 saw a mainstreaming of on-line assessments, the scourge of commercial contract cheating became a particularly significant issue for academic integrity.
A new app has made it easier to cheat and harder to catch. CNN's Abby Phillip talks to an expert in plagiarism and university educator about the new tool that runs on artificial intelligence.
Research suggests the only way to effectively combat online cheating for now is holding exams in person.
Many multiple choice questions are poorly written. What better way to expose these errors than write a cheat-sheet for learners?
Of course, writing good test items is far more difficult than many imagine. Many make obvious mistakes. An interesting way to coming at this problem is to do some reverse engineering. If you think this doesn’t work, think again. Poundstone number crunched 100 tests with a total of 2456 questions to get some of these statistical biases.
Cheating is a big problem. By my reading of the literature, around one in ten Australian university students has at some stage submitted an assignment they didn’t do themselves. Add to that other t…
College students were asked to create headwear to help resist the urge to peek at others' papers.
During the pandemic, Proctorio sold invasive software that claims to stop cheating. A new study shows otherwise.
A new study of academic integrity policies and practices at 41 Australian universities found little evidence of changes to deal with cheating and academic misconduct arising from online assessment.
This chapter argues that establishing a “culture of academic integrity,” in the era of digitally-situated plagiarism like contract cheating, begins with an institutional approach to student dat
