Academic Integrity For End Of Semester Assessments

[#1]

Applicable Learning Management System(s): Blackboard Ultra, Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, D2L

Campaign Description: 

With the increased use of online assessments, faculty have less control over cheating or plagiarism compared to a traditional classroom. However, there are various 3rd party tools you can utilize to give instructors more power to promote academic integrity.

This message will remind faculty members of options to utilize 3rd party tools that promote academic integrity. Specifically, this campaign highlights tools that help with exam proctoring for traditional multiple-choice tests online and for plagiarism checking for written assessments submitted through your LMS.

Success Criteria: Decreased number of academic integrity issues
