TEQSA just published 'Enacting assessment reform in a time of artificial intelligence'
We describe three pathways to assessment reform:
- taking a program-wide approach
- assuring learning in every unit/subject
- implementing a combination of these approaches

I've been reading The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI by Gallant, T. B., & Rettinger, D. A. (2025). I love the premise of this book which contains many generalisable ideas. Maybe it tries to do too much, but if you only read one book on integrity, this could be it!
Reading: The Opposite of Cheating by Bertram Gallant and Rettinger
Gallant, T. B., & Rettinger, D. A. (2025). The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI (Vol. 4). University of Oklahoma Press. This book, written by two experts in academic integrity, tries to move the conversation about GenAI and assessment away from detecting academic misconduct and towards good course design to reduce opportunities for cheating. The book acknowledges the responsibility usually placed on individual teachers to reduce, identify and act on student breaches of accepted academic integrity and tries to offer positive and practical solutions.

I’ve recently seen people criticise software that allows educators to see the process of students’ writing. I think such programs are great for providing enriched feedback and have the incidental benefit of enhancing assessment security. 1/2

Today I rejected a manuscript from a journal because most of the references appeared to be made up. It’s incredibly annoying that anyone would waste the time of editors and reviewers with this sort of incompetent or fraudulent behaviour.

Remember, if the data sleuths are getting uncomfortably close to unravelling your fraud, you can always get people on your side by invoking some alleged human tragedy. This is the gold standard.
