Make your assessment cheat proof
Best way to reduce cheating = increase student motivationie WIIFM (what’s in it for me [them]?) (Lang 2013 via Morris, 2014)
Motivation strategy How flexible training supports this
Get to know your students• Add photos of them self• Update their profile • Introductory posts (and ice breakers)
Applied/real assessment tasks
• Individual learning (and assessment) plans • Eportfolio of evidence (incorporating images, audio,
video, written work etc)• Showcase their work online (and get feedback)
Peer activities• Work together through forums and Google Drive (Docs)• Choreograph websites and online groups• Group problem solving Projects / Assessments
Self-assessment • Write a learning journal

Start with a new cohort

They don’t know how it was done before

It’s not that easy
Finding the time?
• Work as a team / divide up the work
• Start when something needs updating
What to learn?
• Be an online learner yourself
• Join E-learning Conversations LinkedIn Group
Where to start?
• Take baby steps and trial something small
• Take the lead of others and build on it
