CRADLE Seminar Series: Assessment beyond the individual unit/module. What it is, and why it matters in the age of AI
17th July

Together with colleagues from the University of Queensland and Edith Cowen University, CRADLE researchers will unpack the topical questions arising from generative AI and future directions for assessment.
The emergence of generative AI has highlighted existing assessment challenges in higher education and created new problems. These issues are unlikely to be addressed by tweaking individual tasks or revising assessment at a unit/subject level. As is made clear in the guidance outlined in Assessment Reform for the Age of Artificial Intelligence, commissioned and published by TEQSA, a systemic approach to assessment is now essential. However, there is some uncertainty about what this kind of approach is, why it is important, and how it can be achieved. This webinar will explore the what, why and how of these approaches.

CRADLE Seminar Series: Second Handbook of Academic Integrity (2024) launch
24th July

In this presentation we are pleased to have the opportunity to be part of the international digital launch of the Second Handbook of Academic Integrity (Springer; 2nd ed. 2024 edition). Dr Sarah Elaine Eaton, Associate Professor, University of Calgary and Honorary Associate Professor Deakin University will lead this launch as the reference work's editor in chief. Contributors to the handbook will be on hand to answer questions and offer insights into their contributions, including CRADLE's Professor Phillip Dawson.

This major reference work spans three volumes, with 112 chapters contributed by 145 authors. All major topics related to academic integrity are covered including contract cheating, plagiarism, assessment security, and the impact of generative artificial intelligence on teaching, learning, assessment, and academic misconduct.

This broad and comprehensive reference work on academic integrity demonstrates commonalities and differences between regions and approaches on an international scale across many countries. It also engages with, and agitates, controversial debates such as, for example, the use of surveillance technologies to address academic misconduct and the causes of academic integrity breaches.

There is a burgeoning interest in the importance of academic integrity, how to safeguard it and how to address breaches appropriately. Join us for this compelling and this topical presentation online.
