As information technology changes the character of education, new challenges to academic integrity arise. In some ways, cheating and plagiarism are easier than ever. In other ways, the uses of information are radically transformed such that traditional conceptions of academic dishonesty need to be rethought. The key objective of this address is to identify the impacts of information technology on cheating methods, cheating detection and prevention, and the ethics of academic integrity. As a result of this session the participant will gain resources that can be used immediately to reduce risks of academic dishonesty and to check their work for questionable practices. Students will gain resources that help protect their work against charges of academic dishonesty; faculty and administrators will gain resources valuable in attenuating academic dishonesty and upgrading institutional policy.

Plagiarism, presenting other people’s words and ideas as one’s own, plays a dual role in Western culture. For one, hardly anyone ever wants to admit to plagiarism and in some instances there are serious penalties for it. For the other, cases of plagiarism are frequent and the perpetrators often profit from it. With the rise of information technology our concepts of information, communication, and property are changing. Our ideas about plagiarism are changing as a result. This presentation will focus on the nature of plagiarism; instances of plagiarism in government, academia, science, and journalism; the ethics of plagiarism; and the challenges posed by cultural and technological change.
