1) Design assignments that rely on student experience and emphasize context. No busy work.
2) Talk to students. Ask when and how they learn.
3) Start by trusting students. Cultures of trust make space for honest conversation about struggles that may otherwise lead to cheating. https://twitter.com/bburnsedu/status/1247904282877161479

For exams:
1) Make them open-book and collaborative. Have students self-assess and reflect on process.
2) Design exams as learning experiences, rather than relying on them as evidence of learning.
3) Start by trusting students. Ask how much they’re learning. Believe the answers.

Cheating and plagiarism are pedagogical problems, not technological ones. They’re not inevitable. We can design proactively and together with students, rather than relying on cruel, surveillance software that creates a culture of suspicion which interferes with good pedagogies.

And something I’ve said before and will keep saying: we should trust our own students more than we do for-profit ed-tech companies.
