The fifth annual Researching Academic Integrity Student Conference took place on 16 March 2026, supported by Turnitin. Well done to everyone involved, and thanks for sharing many of the latest insights into #GenAI developments and how these are changing what we think about #academicintegrity.

On Monday (16 March 2026) at 16:00 to 18:40 (UK time), I'm hosting our annual Researching Academic Integrity Student Conference on Zoom, which is kindly supported by @Turnitin.
See below for the provisional programme, which covers many #academicintegrity areas, policy developments, and a healthy dose of #GenAI, all along with student views and insights.

Apparently my guru branding on X just wasn’t strong enough… so I asked Nano Banana Pro to create a truly obnoxious profile. It took some added human insight, but this is the result.
It’s a parody, and I’m sending myself up here, but there’s a clear message: GenAI now makes it trivial to makeover profiles for good or to mislead.
Not rebranding (yet), but maybe #DrLancaster is still to come.
A new Varsity article on a survey of Cambridge students finds an increased academic use of #ChatGPT and vastly different processes across different subjects. No wonder students get confused.

A new survey reveals that 61.3% of Cambridge students have used #ChatGPT to assist with academic work. 29.7% of students have used ChatGPT to assist with assessed work. This is likely a distinction that means little at many universities, where almost all academic work is assessed.

Key takeaways from legal expert Michael Draper’s #ECEIA2023 #academicintegrity keynote:
1. AI regulation is coming. Firms will have to pay copyright charges and the era of “free” may be ending. Environmental costs will also have to be factored in.
2. ChatGPT can solve standard educational legal problems to a high quality. Students will have to return to an invigilated setting for the assessment of foundational knowledge.
3. The next academic integrity is performance enhancement, whether through drugs or implants. Students do not see this as a problem, but will this lead to an unfair system?
I stress this is my interpretation of everything Michael said, not necessarily my views, but there’s certainly pause for thought there.
