Thank you for joining us.
We look forward to seeing you next year.
Join us for the 2021 UC Davis Symposium on Assessment of Learning, hosted by the Academic Assessment Team from the Center for Educational Effectiveness. This year's theme is "Save the best and get rid of the rest: Lessons from assessing learning in turbulent times." You won’t want to miss keynotes from national experts on assessing learning in higher education, faculty-led workshops, and student and faculty panels responding to timely assessment questions. Sessions are designed to provide participants with opportunities to learn about concrete, evidence-supported assessment strategies they can adapt to their own contexts.

Surveillance, cheating and academic integrity: what can we leave behind?
Phillip Dawson, Professor and the Associate Director of the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE), Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia
Throughout the pandemic, markets for cheating services for students and anti-cheating technologies for colleges and universities have boomed. As we move into a new academic year, can we leave all of that behind? This presentation provides a research-informed look at what we’ve learned about addressing cheating and promoting academic integrity from the sudden global shift to online assessment and provides a framework and strategies for integrating what we have learned.
