ChatGPT is in classrooms. How should educators now assess student learning? Ensuring higher education remains a space for ethical decision-making means incorporating at least five principles into forms of assessment.

What does it mean to assess student learning in the age of #GenAI? We share the results of our latest research in this article in The Conversation. #AcademicIntegrity #GenAI #Postplaigiarism

Infographic titled “Beyond Compliance: A Neurodiversity-Informed Approach to Academic Integrity” by Eaton, S. E. (2025). The graphic is divided into two sections: Left side (The Problem: How Current Systems Create Barriers): Illustration of a large, grey industrial machine with gears and pipes, symbolizing rigid systems. Three smaller panels show issues: Competitive Assessments Create Unfair Disadvantages – A brain chained to a stopwatch and a test paper, representing time-limited exams penalizing neurodivergent students. Surveillance Tech Poses a Dual Risk – AI detection tools and proctoring software shown with cameras and screens, highlighting disproportionate privacy risks and false positives. Cognitive Differences Are Misinterpreted as Misconduct – Brains labeled “dyslexia” and “ADHD” next to writing patterns, showing how unique writing styles are misjudged as plagiarism. Right side (The Solution: Building an Inclusive Framework): A vibrant tree with multicolored brain-shaped foliage, symbolizing growth and diversity. Three solution panels: Embrace Epistemic Plurality – Diverse ways of knowing and assessing knowledge, illustrated with colorful brains and books. Shift to Human-Centered Pedagogy – Group of people interacting, promoting compassion, dignity, and trust. Design Accessible Assessments from the Start – Icons for multiple formats (text, audio, video) and a UDL (Universal Design for Learning) badge, emphasizing inclusive design. Background uses soft pastel tones.

Should #AcademicIntegrity policies apply only to students? Should educators be held responsible for #plagiarism of others' teaching materials, for example?

A recent court case in Canada brings this question into sharper view. I comment on it here: drsaraheaton.com/2025/11/17/b...

Thank you so much, Jo, for capturing all this in your thread. 🙏
