Managing plagiarism and cheating in online assessments
Recorded 9 Nov 2021
What is cheating? Why do students cheat? The answers might involve more than you think
‘Authenticity’ in Sub-clause 1.8.2 Rules of Evidence of the Standards for RTOs (2015) requires assessors to be “assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work”.
Auditors are especially concerned about the authenticity of learner evidence when this work is submitted online. Training organisations can be found non-compliant at performance assessments (audit) if they cannot demonstrate how they are managing the online authenticity of their students’ work.
Further, the more explicit expectation that RTOs self-assure their processes mean that there must be a protocol in place to address the ‘authenticity’ Rule of Evidence. With online delivery a focus in the current ASQA regulatory strategy and just over a quarter of RTOs saying they deliver some or all of their courses online now, authenticity of evidence in the online environment is an important consideration.
This foundational webinar will present a rigorous Student Academic Integrity model which will help RTOs demonstrate learner authenticity of online assessment evidence. This model is based on research and best-practice for avoiding adult academic misconduct and for meeting VET e-assessment standards.
Participants attending this webinar will:
Understand the importance of authenticating online assessment evidence
Learn about how to establish (or benchmark) processes for managing plagiarism and cheating when it comes to online assessment
Have the opportunity to pose questions to an experienced online assessor about managing the risk of online assessment
