What To Do Next
Pilot open-book, oral-defense, and project-based assessments alongside randomized question banks instead of relying solely on unsupervised AI-detecting exams.
Key Points
- β’Students are increasingly using generative AI to cheat on university assessments.
- β’Unsupervised online exams can be bypassed with little difficulty.
- β’The report questions whether these exams still provide a valid measure of learning.
- β’Universities are being urged to redesign assessment and integrity controls.
