According to a November news release from the company, each of the new e-books focuses on different themes or objectives related to threats to academic integrity, as well as the new technologies available to them to detect plagiarism and academic dishonesty — a key concern among K-12 and higher education instructors amid the growing popularity of remote and online learning modalities.
The three books in the series include Back to Basics: Everything you need to know about academic integrity, which gives guidelines and best practices for fostering a culture of academic honesty among students; Emerging Trends in Academic Integrity, focused on ed-tech trends and tools with implications for academic integrity; and Academic Integrity Essentials, which breaks down different forms of cheating and the basis for why and how to cultivate integrity and personal accountability in students.
According to the announcement, the company's products — including Gradescope, iThenticate, ExamSoft, ProctorExam and Ouriginal, among others — help educators and workforce certification and licensing programs flag plagiarism, and students use them to guide and check their work.
