Catch them Learning: A Pathway to Academic Integrity in the Age of AI
Tony Frontier, Cult of Pedagogy, 2025/05/19

---

Good article that offers "clear, practical strategies for helping students use AI responsibly and maintain academic integrity." Integrity, writes Tony Frontier, is different from 'not cheating'. To cheat is to use a resource to misrepresent one's claim to have done something. Integrity, by contrast, is a commitment to "accurately represent the knowledge and skills one actually possesses." Cheating has to be proven by an accuser. Integrity is more akin to explainability; it can be shown by person who has it by talking about the process and expanding on the results. Frontier's article stresses minimizing opportunity and incentive to cheat, but is mostly about helping people demonstrate integrity. Which is great, but it also looks like a very labour-intensive process.
