Generative AI, plagiarism, and “cheating”

Back in January, I wrote a post called Beyond Cheating, reflecting on the ChatGPT bans that were rolling out across various Australian states and the "cheating" narrative that had accompanied the chatbot since its release. In that earlier post, I argued that banning and blocking generative AI would only contribute to the digital divide - students who have greater access to digital technologies would inevitably be able to access and use GAI, putting those who rely on in-school technology […]

I just had to email my 16-year-old's teacher to explain that he did not use AI for an assignment. (I watched him complete it!) I also included multiple references for why no one should be using AI detectors in education. TurnItIn is making $$$$ by lying to schools.

Findings from behavioural science that I believed and repeated were fraudulent (former UK PM also repeated them). Bah!: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/10/09/they-studied-dishonesty-was-their-work-a-lie #AcademicDishonesty

I am undertaking research into attitudes towards and perceptions of contract cheating, within UK-based higher education.

Below is a link to an anonymous survey, which takes around 5-10 minutes to complete. The survey can be taken by #Students or #Teachers / #Lecturers / #Professors / #Tutors / #Instructors or anybody who has taught in some capacity at a UK-based higher educational facility. It does not matter if you reside in the UK, just that you taught / studied at a UK-based institution, no matter how long ago.

This research is for my #MBA #Dissertation and therefore all responses will be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance for you consideration and participation.
