Technology is frequently cited as the direct cause of the increase in academic fraud reported over the past two years of rapid, pandemic-driven adoption of online learning; it’s just as often promised as the only solution to this problem. However, over time, it has become clearer that technology is neither the sole cause of academic misconduct nor a “magic bullet” to protect academic integrity; instead, understanding how design of alternative assessments can reduce learner stress is more helpful in mitigating academic fraud and ensuring technology integration works for learners and educators (and not the other way around!). This FLO Friday workshop will describe the interplay between technology, stress, and academic fraud and help you identify alternative assessments that can minimize student stress, improve student engagement, and protect academic integrity.
