As co-chairs of the Alberta Council on Academic Integrity working group on contract cheating, Sheryl Boisvert and I presented this webinar on contract cheating in Alberta as part of Integrity Week at the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning at the University of Calgary. We discussed essay mills, homework completion services, unethical tutoring services, and thesis consultation services that all cross the line into academic misconduct. Participants learned about the size and scope of this predatory industry and how it preys on our students, including engaging in blackmail and extortion.
