Responding to the Challenge of Academic Integrity in Distance Learning: Using Excel to Guarantee Individual Effort
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: The distance learning environment is highly dependent upon assignment-based assessment.Whereas the business academy may seem well prepared for this transition with the emergence of the case method, a primary objection has been unanswered.Cases generate "canned" solutions that, when passed between students, jeopardize the accountability of individual efforts and the educational value of the exercise.Although students have leveraged computer technology to exacerbate this problem, the professoriate generally has not "fought fire with fire."Through the use of artificial intelligence can restore the confidence that each student will work his/her own case solution and will therefore extract the intended educational purpose from the effort.With computer technology made to act intelligently, assessments given to students should become more robust as a primary pedagogical device of distance learning.
