Employers rely on those same results to help them decide which graduates to employ. With so much at stake, there will always be students who choose to cheat.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>COVID forced hasty assessment changes<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The pandemic forced universities to hurriedly rethink many practices, including assessment. One major challenge was how to supervise assessment tasks such as exams when these moved online.<\/p>\n<p>Educators and researchers have reported academic misconduct subsequently\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2451958820300336\">increased<\/a>. Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism, collusion, and fabrication or falsification of data.<\/p>\n<p>Our universities are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teqsa.gov.au\/online-learning-good-practice\">required<\/a>\u00a0to establish policies and practices to protect academic integrity. These policies should provide for education and training on good practice and for actions to reduce the risks of cheating and other misconduct. Universities Australia has outlined\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.universitiesaustralia.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/UA-Academic-Integrity-Best-Practice-Principles.pdf\">principles<\/a>\u00a0of best practice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Universities seek fair and square solution for online exams taken by distance learners: as cheating rises, merits of \u201cauthentic assessment\u201d and technology such as remote proctoring are debated.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1hsV92tOuR\">https:\/\/t.co\/1hsV92tOuR<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pGco5Prp5K\">pic.twitter.com\/pGco5Prp5K<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Times Higher Education (@timeshighered) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/timeshighered\/status\/1355993262218240003?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 31, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/research.monash.edu\/en\/projects\/academic-integrity-policies-procedures-and-good-practices-for-onl\">research project<\/a>\u00a0explored changes to assessment practices as a result of COVID. We wanted to see how effective these might be in preventing academic misconduct. We examined academic integrity policies and procedures at 41 Australian universities that offer computing courses, interviewed leading computing educators at these universities and surveyed computing academics.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What did the study find?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We found little evidence that academic integrity policies and procedures explicitly address the circumstances brought on by COVID.<\/p>\n<p>Of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/leemans.ch\/publications\/papers\/asci2021jha.pdf\">41 universities, 38 offer online or distance education<\/a>\u00a0for computing courses. Four offer most of their computing courses in online\/distance mode. Only one offers no computing courses in online\/distance mode.<\/p>\n<p>But only five universities around the nation acknowledge the possibility of online exams in their policies. Even at these five there are no policy differences between online and face-to-face assessment tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The inference appears to be that the rules and regulations that govern general academic integrity apply equally to all assessment tasks, including online tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Some of our respondents expressed concern that current policies aren\u2019t effective. A particular concern is the time and effort it takes to prepare a case of misconduct against a student. One academic said:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cAny excuse that a student gives is automatically believed, despite overwhelming evidence of plagiarism. Also, students claim to have not done the academic integrity module to get reduced punishments. It\u2019s inconceivable that a year three student does not know what plagiarism is [\u2026] yet they are given warnings and no real consequences.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nCOVID has changed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/covid-has-changed-students-needs-and-expectations-how-do-universities-respond-172863\">students\u2019 needs and expectations<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0092055X12446624\">Research suggests<\/a>\u00a0many students now prefer studying online.

Some noted this might be due in part to the difficulties students faced. One academic said:<br \/>\n<em>Online exams and tests were a big challenge. Students sometimes complained that their laptops froze, or their internet connection dropped out midway through the test. Such cases demanded the need to develop a new set of questions.<\/em><br \/>\nThe abrupt pivot to online education left little time, anyway, to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/02602938.2021.1933379\">make substantial changes<\/a>\u00a0to assessment regimes. Courses that relied on personally supervised in-class tests and final exams continued with them, simply dropping in-person invigilation. In some cases, 24-hour exams replaced two or three-hour exams, or shorter exams were conducted in a longer window.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What can be done to restore integrity?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One or two suggested approaches might hold some promise.<\/p>\n<p>Many respondents noted the need to develop new types of questions.
