Title: WSE Fall 2025 Book Club – Opposite of Cheating
Date: 11/05/2025 12:00 PM
Presenters: Margo Williams
Session Description
Join us for a dynamic and thought-provoking virtual book club as we dive into The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI by Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger.
The book challenges us to move beyond a narrow focus on catching misconduct to embrace a learning-centered approach to academic integrity. It provides a positive, forward-looking, research-backed vision for what academic integrity can look like in the GenAI era through strategies for redesigning assessments, reframing conversations, and building classroom cultures grounded in trust, responsibility, and ethical growth.
Together, we will discuss key topics such as:
• Why students cheat and how we can address the root causes
• Reframing academic integrity as a positive educational value
• Practical, research-backed strategies for fostering integrity across teaching modalities
• Designing courses and assessments to emphasize engagement and authentic learning
• The role of educators and institutions in shaping integrity cultures in the AI era
This is an opportunity to engage with colleagues, share perspectives, and consider how we can create environments where integrity thrives not only as an academic principle but as a foundation for lifelong success.
REGISTRATION NOTE: The book club has FOUR sessions. Please register for all four individually!
This event will take place on Zoom.
