Detecting academic misconduct in written assessment can be significantly aided by the application of forensic linguistic analysis. Much of the work in this area is nowadays conducted computationally using proprietary tools and while this has led to useful advances, these tools are not easily accessible and can be too blunt for the nuances of misconduct cases.

This webinar shares open-access tools and simple techniques that can be used by any and all educators to address typical academic misconduct cases such as disputed authorship, ghostwriting, intentional vs non-intentional plagiarism and the use of generative AI. Olu will also present proposals for reducing academic misconduct in written assessment.

The webinar is part of a series of ENAI monthly webinars, which take place live every second Friday of the month at 1 PM CET/CEST. A few days later, we upload the recording to this channel.
