Academic Integrity in Online Learning @ CGS.
Design learning experiences that support honest work, clear expectations, and meaningful student engagement.
Build a Culture of Academic Integrity
Academic integrity begins with course design. Clear expectations, meaningful assessments, thoughtful assignments, and intentional use of technology can create learning experiences where students understand what is expected and have meaningful opportunities to demonstrate what they know.
CGS follows the University of Pittsburgh’s academic integrity policies and procedures. Questions or concerns related to academic integrity and the Student Code of Conduct are handled in accordance with University and CGS procedures.
Design for Academic Integrity
Clear Expectations
Explain what students can and cannot use, how they should collaborate, and what is expected when using AI or other technologies.
Meaningful Assignments
Design assignments that ask students to apply, analyze, create, or reflect rather than simply reproduce information.
Authentic Assessment
Give students opportunities to demonstrate their learning through work that is connected to course goals and meaningful contexts.
Intentional Use of Technology
Consider how tools such as AI, online resources, and assessment technologies affect the way students demonstrate their learning.
