My guests for this episode are Kane Murdoch and Shaun Lehmann. They work in the area of academic integrity at one of Australia's major universities and have been thinking seriously about the problems facing us in academia of ensuring that students behave with integrity in their assessments. The issue is typically referred to as "contract cheating" which includes students outsourcing completion of their work, or *contracts it out, to a third party. This practice risks devaluing university degrees and destroying trust in the quality of degrees.
Kane and Shaun argue that the way to combat this practice in the age of AI is to change the way that we assess students in higher education. Have a listen to their arguments and let us know what you think.
