Keynote Address:
Reaching iGen Students: Classroom Strategies
Today's students are now iGen (born after 1995), the first generation to spend their adolescence with smartphones. iGen’ers spend more time communicating online and less time face-to-face, are growing up more slowly as adolescents, and are more extrinsically and less intrinsically motivated, necessitating new strategies for reaching them in the classroom.
April 19th, 11:30-12:30 pm
The Undergraduate Experience: A Student Panel
Following the keynote by Dr. Twenge, a panel of undergraduates will talk to conference attendees about the challenges they face around academic integrity and academic success, and will suggest services and actions that educators could take to help them achieve academic success with integrity.

Developing Integrity through Authentic Assessments
Designing Authentic Assessments, Jill Bush, Windward School
Designing assessments that are authentic measures of student learning is critical to cultivating a teaching and learning environment with integrity. In this 20 minute presentation, Jill will explain what authentic assessments and responsive teaching look like at a middle and secondary school.
Assessing the Authenticity of Assessments, Christine Gee, Western Governors University
With the competency-based model, WGU implements a disaggregated approach to ensure student learning. The Course Instructor teaches the material, and all the evaluation of assessments is done in another department. In this 20 minute presentation, WGU will explain the comprehensive strategies they use to ensure authenticity of the assessments submitted by students for academic credit.
April 19th, 3:15-4:15 pm
Contract Cheating: What Is It & What Can We Do About It?
Tricia Bertram Gallant (UC San Diego), Christine Gee (Western Govenors University) & Mark Ricksen (Turnitin)
In this session, the speakers will discuss the breadth of what is considered contract cheating and then examine what can be done from a pedagogical and technology perspective (was also presented at the main ICAI conference).
April 19th, 4:30-5:30 pm
Developing Ethical Professionals
Building Integrity Through First-Gen Support, Alison Herr, UC San Diego
Student Success Coaching at UC San Diego supports over 800 first-generation college students currently, and will add another 800 over the next two years. In addition to working with students on transitional issues to college, we work on a strengths based approach to goal setting and achievement. Failure and resiliency are major factors in student success, which are factored into the goal setting process. Working one-on-one-with students allows us to talk about the pressures of college, creating personalized study skills, and learning from failure - thus helping avoid academic integrity issues as students build and fine-tune goals
Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research, Kirsten Kung, UC San Diego
Countless students across the country receive extensive training each year in how to conduct research. However, instruction in the responsible conduct of research often does not receive as much attention as the specific techniques and skills needed to conduct the research itself. This 20 minute presentation will review many of the topics that are often included in RCR training and will provide examples of best practices in training that have been developed and refined over the years.
April 19th, 5:45-6:45 pm
UC San Diego Integrity Peer Educator Program
Alumni & Peer Panel
The UC San Diego Integrity Peer Educator Program (IPEP) was created in Fall 2008 in order to expand the ability and opportunities to reach a large student population with the integrity message. Over the last 10 years, the program has grown from 2 Peers to over 40, with over 70 peer alumni spread around the nation. In this panel, former and current peers will talk about the impact that their involvement in the academic integrity movement on one campus has informed their personal and professional integrity and ethical practices.

Keynote Address:
Seed and Soil: The Nature of Cheating and the Cultivation of Integrity
In this address, I will proffer four provocations related to academic dishonesty; namely, that cheating behaviour is natural and the norm, but neither ethical nor inevitable. In doing so, I hope not only to offer the audience an empirically-grounded understanding of the nature of cheating, but also a robust theoretical framework for the cultivation of integrity.
