Some content in this chapter may overlap with other chapters
(e.g. if we discuss Academic Integrity when we introduce specific online assessment tools),
but this chapter will be structured in a way that is hopefully agnostic to specific tooling.
This chapter draws heavily from {cite:t}`eaton_second_2024`,
a resource I *strongly* recommend for anyone curious about Academic Integrity.

## Terms and Concepts

Before discussing *any* techniques for maintaining Academic Integrity,
we first need to present some foundational terms and concepts.

### Deterrence vs. Detection

There are two key terms that describe two closely-related yet distinct concepts:
{term}`deterrence` and {term}`detection`.
{term}`Deterrence` is the act of correctly identify cases of cheating
(e.g. by comparing submissions, witnessing copying, using plagiarism detection tools, etc.),
whereas {term}`deterrence` is the act of stopping/preventing people from cheating {cite:p}`eaton_remote_2024`
(e.g. by proctoring/monitoring students, convincing them they will get caught and receive a severe penalty, etc.).

## Exams

### Remote Proctoring

When administering online exams,
When administering remote exams,
especially in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic,
many instructors relied on {term}`Remote Proctoring`,
in which students take an exam on a computer
while being supervised by a person and/or computer software
{cite:p}`eaton_remote_2024`.
The idea behind {term}`Remote Proctoring` is intuitive:
students are typically proctored when they take in-person exams,
so they should be proctored when they take remote exams... Right?

abstract = {The book brings together diverse views from around the world and provides a comprehensive overview of academic integrity and how to create the ethical academy. At the same time, the Handbook does not shy away from some of the vigorous debates in the field such as the causes of academic integrity breaches. There has been an explosion of interest in academic integrity in the last 20-30 years. New technologies that have made it easier than ever for students to 'cut and paste', coupled with global media scandals of high profile researchers behaving badly, have resulted in the perception that plagiarism is 'on the rise'. This, in combination with the massification and commercialisation of higher education, has resulted in a burgeoning interest in the importance of academic integrity, how to safeguard it and how to address breaches appropriately. What may have seemed like a relatively easy topic to address -- students copying sources without attribution -- has in fact, turned out to be a complex, interdisciplinary field of research requiring contributions from linguists, psychologists, social scientists, anthropologists, teaching and learning specialists, mathematicians, accountants, medical doctors, lawyers and philosophers, to name just a few. Because of this broad interest and input, this handbook serves as the single authoritative reference work which brings together the vast, growing, interdisciplinary and at times contradictory body of literature. For both established researchers/practitioners and those new to the field, this Handbook provides a one-stop-shop as well as a launching pad for new explorations and discussions},
