The twenty-first century presents new challenges to teaching, learning, and assessing with integrity. Challenges such as the massification of higher education and the birth of the internet, then the pandemic (and Emergency Remote Teaching) and now artificial intelligence. These developments have occurred alongside experiences of massive student disengagement, an explosion in cheating, and frustration and burnout for faculty. And yet, we primarily continue to teach, assess and tackle academic integrity in the same ways we did in the twentieth century, with an over-reliance on inactive pedagogies, a clinging to written exams for assessment, and the use of scare tactics to prevent, and punishment to respond to, cheating. But it’s not working. In this keynote, Dr. Bertram Gallant will offer an alternative model to making cheating the exception and integrity the norm. One that brings faculty, students and staff together to reimagine what culture, pedagogy and assessment might look like if learning with integrity in positioned as the goal.
