Online Academic Integrity – Why Bother? By Rachel Kuhn and Kevin Schwartz

They might be under the impression that cheating only involves copying off another person in their class or a friend from another class. • What Can I Do? • Give students 2-4 scenarios of online academic dishonesty. Have students pretend to be the offending student(s) and ask them to create 3 ways to resolve the situation that would NOT involve academic dishonesty. • Talk about the importance of a code of conduct for online academic integrity.
