This workshop will showcase the committed effort to academic integrity in higher education and share new research and best practices for collaborative models in addressing student success across the spectrum of innovative curriculum instructional design technology on plagiarism and contract cheating. With a focus on building a culture of collaboration between librarians, faculty, and academic affairs, this workshop will also outline the best practices in developing an Academic Integrity Library Course that supports the participant's institutional academic integrity policy; and, it will explore and tackles student success, from plagiarism challenges to library resources and services and contract cheating endeavors. The International Center for Academic Integrity defines academic integrity as a commitment to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. The scope of the problem is academic dishonesty is rampant; students often do not view what they do as cheating. According to the journal Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, contract cheating is the purchasing of custom-made university assignments to submit them. Websites providing contract cheating services often claim this form of cheating is undetectable, and no published research has examined this claim (Dawson and Sutherland-Smith, 2018).

The Academic Integrity Library Course is a one-hour session delivered either face-to-face or via Zoom taught by TAMUS-Prairie View A&M University’s reference and information services library staff who integrate information about the University's academic integrity policy and honor codes with information about library researching skills, citation styles, contract cheating, plagiarism, and copyright. The presentation provides a workshop for TAMUS librarians with tips on combating plagiarism, AI-ChatGPT and contract cheating in their classrooms and how to work with their librarians to host library workshops related to building student success beyond plagiarism and contract cheating issues. Workshop participants will evaluate valid and invalid resources on the pervasiveness of cheating in the classroom. Plus, have the opportunity to look at best practices used by faculty, librarians, academic integrity review board, and academic affairs as it relates to elevating student plagiarism, AI-ChatGPT and contract cheating concerns.
