Dr. James Lang, educator and author of Cheating Lessons: Learning from Academic Dishonesty, will share course design practices that improve student learning while reducing the incentives to cheat.
Dr. Lang posits that the root of academic dishonesty often lies in the pressures embedded within the educational system itself. These pressures inadvertently push students towards cheating. What’s compelling is that the strategies to counteract cheating are not just about enforcing stricter rules. Instead, they align closely with principles that cognitive theorists advocate for enhancing student engagement and learning.
This approach is not just theoretical. It’s backed by Dr. Lang’s extensive research and experience in education. By rethinking course design and teaching strategies, educators can significantly reduce the incentives and opportunities for students to cheat.
This FREE webinar on Thursday, February 1st at 2 pm EST will go over:
- The common course design practices that lead to academic dishonesty
- Teaching strategies that reduce the incentive and opportunity to cheat
- How low stakes assessments build confidence and lead to better study decisions
- The role transparency and motivation play in promoting academic integrity
