Use Verification and Proctoring Tools: Employ identity checks and proctoring software during exams to prevent impersonation and unauthorized assistance, reinforcing the seriousness of academic integrity. Design Thoughtful Assessments: Create assignments and exams that require critical thinking, problem-solving, and personalized responses, making it harder for students to cheat and easier to detect dishonesty. Promote an Integrity-Focused Culture: Encourage discussions about the value of honesty and the impact of cheating. Clearly communicate consequences to build a sense of responsibility and community trust.

-Use game-based learning or reward systems to recognize students who consistently demonstrate ethical behavior. Positive reinforcement can make academic integrity something to aspire to rather than merely avoiding punishment. -Encourage peer collaboration where students hold each other accountable. Creating group projects where each member’s contribution is essential can reduce the likelihood of dishonesty, as students are more likely to follow through on commitments when others depend on them. - Organize workshops or seminars on digital citizenship and ethical behavior in online environments. These can address not just the rules but the “why” behind academic honesty, encouraging students to value integrity for its own sake.

Discuss the issues and consequences of academic dishonesty. Explain clearly what constitutes cheating and plagiarism. Define the rules regarding academic conduct and make sure students understand the expectations. Encourage a culture of integrity by valuing honest work and showing examples of good practice. Use a variety of assessments (essays, projects, discussions,...) to reduce opportunities for cheating. Ask questions that require personal reflection or application of knowledge, rather than standardized answers. For tests, make sure they are designed to be difficult to cheat, for example by limiting the time available to answer. Use plagiarism detection software to check student work.

Address academic dishonesty by setting clear guidelines, using plagiarism detection tools, designing unique assessments, encouraging academic integrity discussions and fostering a trust-based environment that promotes honest, independent work.

Besides having open conversations with students one to one, I would use technology to promote honesty. For example, I would incorporate tools like plagiarism checkers to ensure originality. I would design assessments that require students to leverage AI tools and critical thinking to find solutions, encouraging deeper engagement. Also I would emphasize project-based assessments, where students must apply creativity and problem-solving skills, making it harder to cheat.
