New Academic Integrity Resources
As Ohio State embraces online learning and assessment, new resources are available to ensure academic integrity.
Proctorio
, for example, was selected as the university’s enterprise solution for remote proctoring earlier this year. But proctoring is just one way to protect the integrity of our courses. Teaching strategies such as authentic assessments challenge students to demonstrate their knowledge in new ways, and also deter misconduct. Instructors should pull from a broad toolset of academic integrity resources throughout their course.
