What Should We Be Assessing in a World with AI? Insights from Higher Education Educators

November 25, 2025

The arrival of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT has disrupted how we think about assessment in higher education. As educators, we’re facing a critical question: What should we actually be assessing when students have access to these powerful tools?

Our recent study explored how 28 Canadian higher education educators are navigating this challenge. Through in-depth interviews, we discovered that educators are positioning themselves as “stewards of learning with integrity” – carefully drawing boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable uses of chatbots in student assessments.

Screenshot of an academic journal article header from Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, published by Routledge. The article title reads: “What should we be assessing exactly? Higher education staff narratives on gen AI integration of assessment in a postplagiarism era.” Authors listed are Sarah Elaine Eaton, Beatriz Antonieta Moya Figueroa, Brenda McDermott, Rahul Kumar, Robert Brennan, and Jason Wiens, with institutional affiliations including University of Calgary, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Brock University, and others. The DOI link is visible at the top: https://doi.org/10.1080/02602938.2025.2587246.

Where Educators Found Common Ground

Across disciplines, participants agreed that prompting skills and critical thinking are appropriate to assess with chatbot integration. Prompting requires students to demonstrate foundational knowledge, clear communication skills, and ethical principles like transparency and respect. Critical thinking assessments can leverage chatbots’ current limitations – their unreliable arguments, weak fact-checking, and inability to explain reasoning – positioning students as evaluators of AI-generated content.

The Nuanced Territory of Writing Assessment

Writing skills proved far more controversial. Educators accepted chatbot use for brainstorming (generating initial ideas) and editing (grammar checking after independent writing), but only under specific conditions: students must voice their own ideas, complete the core writing independently, and critically evaluate any AI suggestions.

Notably absent from discussions was the composition phase – the actual process of developing and organizing original arguments. This silence suggests educators view composition as distinctly human cognitive work that should remain student-generated, even as peripheral tasks might accommodate technological assistance.

Broader Concerns

Participants raised important challenges beyond specific skill assessments: language standardization that erases student voice, potential for overreliance on AI, blurred authorship boundaries, and untraceable forms of academic misconduct. Many emphasized that students training to become professional communicators shouldn’t rely on AI for core writing tasks.

Moving Forward

Our findings suggest that ethical AI integration in assessment requires more than policies, it demands ongoing conversations about what makes learning authentic in technology-mediated environments. Educators need support in identifying which ‘cognitive offloads’ are appropriate, understanding how AI works, and building students’ evaluative judgment skills.

The key insight? Assessment in the AI era isn’t about banning technology, but about distinguishing between tasks where AI can enhance learning and those where independent human cognition remains essential. As one participant reflected: we must continue asking ourselves, “What should we be assessing exactly?”

The postplagiarism era requires us to protect academic standards while preparing students for technology-rich professional environments – a delicate balance that demands ongoing dialogue, flexibility, and our commitment to learning and student success.

Decriminalizing the Language of Academic Integrity

October 2, 2025

The first time I heard about decriminalizing the language and processes we use to address cases of plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct; I was riveted. It was at an academic integrity conference in Richmond, Virginia and the lead presenter was Dr. James Earl Orr, who presented together with students on how a developmental and supportive approach to academic misconduct case management can help lead students towards academic success while still holding them responsible for their behaviour.  James Earl Orr, writing together with Karita Orr, published an excellent article on using restorative practices to resolve academic integrity violations.

When I was writing the University of Calgary’s academic integrity Handbook for Academic Staff and Teaching Assistants, I took the opportunity to apply what I had learned from listening to Dr. Orr at conferences and reading his work by including a section on how to decriminalize the language we use to talk about academic misconduct.

Academic integrity violations are rarely criminal in nature and yet, much of the language we use when addressing plagiarism and academic cheating is legalistic, setting the stage for criminalizing student behaviour. One step towards taking a more learner-centred approach to misconduct is to decriminalize the language we use to talk about breaches of academic integrity.

Front cover: Student Academic Integrity Faculty Handbook
Front cover of the Student Academic Integrity Faculty Handbook, published by the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning at the University of Calgary

The following is an excerpt from the University of Calgary’s academic integrity Handbook for Academic Staff and Teaching Assistants that provides practical guidance on how to do this:

“We know that words matter and the language we use is important. A full list of terms related to academic misconduct is available in our policy. It should be noted that the terms “academic integrity” and “academic misconduct” are not interchangeable.

Academic integrity is about acting ethically in teaching, learning and research contexts. We do not report, investigate or manage cases of academic integrity. We report, investigate and manage cases of academic misconduct.

Academic misconduct is what happens when individuals do not act with integrity. This is currently the language used in our policy and procedures. When speaking and writing about academic misconduct, we can use the terms “breaches of integrity or “violations of integrity” as synonyms for academic misconduct.

At the University of Calgary we take a proactive approach to academic integrity, including in the language we use and in keeping the focus on teaching, learning and fairness to students. In our conversations with students and others, it can be helpful to use the language of integrity that focuses on education and support” (Eaton, 2022, p. 13).

See the table below, which is also an expert from our handbook (with a few minor updates):

The language of academic integrity

Preferred
language		Language
to avoid 		Explanation
Hold responsible Guilt
Guilty
The words “guilt” and “guilty” do not appear anywhere in our
polices or procedures. We do not find students guilty of academic misconduct, but instead we hold them responsible for their
behaviours.
Sanctions
Consequence
Outcome		Punish
Punishment
When disciplinary actions are taken in response to academic
misconduct, we do not use the terms “punish” or “punishment”
in our institutional documents. We opt instead for “sanctions”,
“discipline,” “consequences” or “outcome” which can include educational responses depending on the misconduct.
Hearing Trial 
The University of Calgary does not conduct trials related to
academic misconduct.
In other countries, various forms of academic misconduct can be
considered an offense under the criminal code and students may
be required to attend a criminal trial. That is not the case at the
University of Calgary or anywhere in Canada.
In the case of an appeal, a hearing might occur. In rare cases, an appeal case might escalate to an externally reviewed case in court, but these proceedings are not administered by the university itself.

When I talk about taking a postplagiarism approach to academic integrity I am talking about disrupting historically adversarial and antagonistic approaches to misconduct that pit students against their teachers. It is time to move past crime-and-punishment approaches to student misconduct where students are the villains and teachers are the heroes. When we talk about postplagiarism we talk about social justice and student success as being intertwined, and we focus on students as stewards of the future, who will be best equipped for an increasingly complex world when they understand the importance of ethical decision-making, both in theory and in practice.

Postplagiarism does not mean anything goes, and nor does it mean that we turn a blind eye to misconduct. Postplagiarism is about finding socially just ways to address misconduct include relationally, restoration, and the preservation of dignity and human rights. When we decriminalize language related to student misconduct, we are taking a step towards dignity and   student success.

The bottom section mentions CAIELI (Centre for Artificial Intelligence Ethics, Literacy and Integrity).

Date: October 1, 2025

Description: In the postplagiarism era, GenAI compels educators to confront a fundamental choice: should it be trusted as a complementary tool that enhances learning, or as a competitive tool that undermines it? This talk explores how cognitive and affective trust explain the differences among student, educator, and employer perspectives on AI’s role in education. Drawing on David C. Krakauer’s distinction between cognitive artifacts, Kumar argues that academic integrity now requires more than attribution or authorship. It requires deliberate pedagogical practices that guide learners to use AI in ways that enhance, rather than diminish, human intelligence.

Speaker: Dr. Rahul Kumar, Brock University

Bio: Dr. Rahul Kumar is an Assistant Professor, Department of Educational Studies, Brock University. In his research he focuses on the disruptive force of GenAI on education.

Session 3: Assessment in a Postplagiarism era: The AI Assessment Scale as a framework for academic integrity in an AI transformed world

Date: October 15, 2025

Description: Developments in Generative AI are leading us closer to the concept of ‘postplagiriaism’, with traditional concepts of academic integrity being fundamentally challenged by these technologies. This lecture explores how the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) offers a pragmatic response to this upcoming paradigm shift, moving beyond futile attempts at AI detection towards thoughtful assessment redesign. In a world where AI-generated content is becoming indistinguishable from human work, the AIAS (Perkins et al., 2024) provides a five-level framework that acknowledges this new reality whilst maintaining academic authenticity.

Rather than treating AI as a threat to be policed, the AIAS embraces it as a tool to be thoughtfully integrated where appropriate. From ‘No AI’ assessments that preserve foundational skill development, to ‘AI Exploration’ tasks that prepare students for an AI-saturated workplace, this framework offers educators practical strategies for the postplagiarism landscape. This talk will demonstrate how institutions can move from an adversarial ‘catch and punish’ mentality to a collaborative approach that recognises both learning integrity and technological advancement. The session will challenge traditional academic integrity paradigms and offer actionable insights for this new era of university assessment.

Speaker: Dr. Mike Perkins, British University Vietnam

Bio: Dr. Mike Perkins heads the Centre for Research & Innovation at British University Vietnam, Hanoi. He is an Associate Professor and leads GenAI policy integration and trains Vietnamese educators and policymakers on this topic.

Session 4: Designing for Integrity: Learning and Assessment in the Postplagiarism Era

Date: November 19, 2025

Description: In the postplagiarism era, where generative AI and related technologies are embedded in how ideas are produced and shared, academic integrity must be reimagined. Rather than treating plagiarism as a violation to be detected and punished, integrity becomes something to be intentionally cultivated through the design of both learning and assessment. This talk will explore how postplagiarism challenges traditional notions of authorship, originality, and attribution, inviting educators to move beyond rule enforcement toward fostering creativity, responsibility, and agency. I will discuss how aligning learning activities with authentic, meaningful assessment can reduce plagiarism incentives while preparing students for ethical participation in a world where human and AI contributions are intertwined. Participants will be encouraged to rethink not just how we assess, but why—and to envision integrity as a shared, evolving value in the age of AI.

Session 5: Teaching Postplagiarism Tenets Through AI-Enhanced Creative Problem-Solving Model

Date: January 14, 2026

Description: While the concept of postplagiarism has gained increasing attention in the past two years, much of the discussion remains focused on writing tasks, leaving a gap in understanding how this framework applies to broader creative processes. Even less focus has been placed on strategies for teaching its tenets. This presentation bridges that gap by applying the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model, enhanced with narrow AI tools such as chatbots, to explore how postplagiarism can be taught and understood in diverse creative contexts. By mapping the stages of CPS to postplagiarism’s key tenets, the session reveals nuanced connections between the two frameworks and offers what may be one of the earliest structured models for explaining current human–AI co-creation practices.

Speaker: Fuat Ramazanov, Acsenda School of Management

Bio: Fuat Ramazanov is the Program Director at Acsenda School of Management and a doctoral student at the University of Calgary.

Session 7: A Transformative Model for Learning Academic Integrity in the Postplagiarism Era

Date: February 11, 2026

Description: The Postplagiarism framework has gained considerable attention, reshaping the landscape of academic integrity and ethical decision-making in education and research. This paradigm shift encourages educators to embrace the potential of artificial intelligence integration in transforming the competencies students need for their careers and communities. In this presentation I focus on two of the postplagiarism tenets:  enhanced human creativity and the disappearance of language barriers. I will showcase preliminary findings of my doctoral research on academic integrity. As we recognize students’ diversity, these two postplagiarism-tenets provide a framework for fostering creative communication and accessible educational environments while disappearing potential obstacles within a transformative model for learning academic integrity.

Session 8: Designing Authentic Assessment in the PostPlagiarism GenAI Era: Making Judgement Visible

Date: February 25, 2026

Description: GenAI shifts academic integrity from detection to design by asking educators to assign work only students can do. Aimed at educators, this workshop presents the 3Cs framework (construct, collaborate, create), developed in secondary classrooms and adapted for teacher education. Sharma will introduce amplified intelligence as a lens and centre capability-agnostic design so tasks remain valid as GenAI tools evolve. Practice is anchored in six postplagiarism tenets: hybrid human and AI writing becomes normal, creativity is enhanced, language barriers diminish, control may be delegated but responsibility cannot, attribution remains important, and definitions of plagiarism are evolving. Participants examine how purpose sets permissions for GenAI use and translate that stance into prompts, checkpoints, and reflections that make process as visible as product. Classroom-tested examples provide assessment patterns and syllabus language for disclosure, verification, and boundaries. Outcomes: visible judgement, honoured student agency, reduced outsourcing.

Speaker: Dr. Sunaina Sharma, Assistant Professor, Brock University

Bio: Dr. Sunaina Sharma, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Studies at Brock University, Ontario, Canada, specializing in secondary education and curriculum development. With 23 years of experience as a secondary teacher and 10 years as a program leader, she is deeply committed to creating a space for secondary students and educators to share their voices. Her recent research examines Ontario secondary school teachers’ responses to the proliferation of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), focusing on their questions, concerns, and instructional needs. Dr. Sharma’s research on digital technology and student engagement underscores that engagement arises not from the digital tools themselves but from students’ ability to construct knowledge through their use. Her work contributes to ethical GenAI adoption and advances effective pedagogical practices in educational settings.

Session 9: The SETA Framework for Integrity Education in the Postplagiarism Era

Date: March 4, 2026

Description: Technological  Innovations are fuelling the call for changes in how students are taught and evaluated at all levels of the system. One visible change is a new focus on academic integrity, as the use of generative AI tools such as large language models (LLMs) have rendered the traditional discourse regarding plagiarism as obsolete, inadequate for the new environment. This presentation focuses on the  support, education for integrity, teaching and learning, and assessment (SETA) framework. It identifies the various elements that are necessary in educating students for academic integrity within the GenAI-enabled environment. It focuses on the role of policies and their importance in creating the context within which academic integrity education takes place, and includes the punitive element which is necessary in instances where students choose to act contrary to the requirements of the academy.  This discussion includes data gathered from students and librarians who participated in a 20 hour training for the development of academic integrity from across the Caribbean.

Speaker: Dr. Ruth Baker-Gardner, University of the West Indies, Jamaica

Bio: Dr. Ruth Baker-Gardner is the foremost voice on academic integrity in the Caribbean. She is a lecturer in librarianship at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus in Jamaica. Dr. Baker-Gardner is author of Academic Integrity in the Caribbean which was awarded the Principal’s Research Award for outstanding Publication in the Book Category. She was also awarded the International Center for Academic Integrity Exemplar for Academic Integrity Award and the European Network for Academic Integrity Outstanding Researcher Award. Her latest publication Academic Integrity meets Artificial Intelligence, the Case of the Anglophone Caribbean, examines the region’s readiness for artificial intelligence use by examining its academic integrity structures and practices.

Session 10: Postplagiarism Perspectives: Comparative Insights from K-12 and Postsecondary Research

Date: March 18, 2026

Description: As generative AI technologies reshape educational landscapes, academic integrity must be reconceptualized across both K–12 and postsecondary contexts. Drawing from two doctoral research studies, this presentation explores the complex interplay between technological adoption, ethical formation, and institutional change.

The first study examines K–12 administrators navigating pedagogical and ethical uncertainties introduced by human-AI collaboration. Employing the Technology Acceptance Model, Innovation Diffusion Theory, and the 4M Framework, this research explores how administrators balance AI integration with pedagogical values during ‘AI arbitrage’, the liminal space where early adopting students outpace institutional adaptation.

The second study explores how CPA-accredited accounting programs embed ethical competencies through assessment, particularly regarding AI-enabled misconduct. Employing Rest’s Four-Component Model of Morality, Biggs’ Constructive Alignment, and an Integrity–Assessment Alignment Matrix, this research examines professional ethics education amid technological disruption.

Together, anchored in Eaton’s postplagiarism concept, these complementary theoretical lenses provide comprehensive analytical approaches to understanding educational transformation across the learning continuum.

Speakers: Naomi Paisley & Myke Healy

Bio: Naomi Paisley is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) with over 20 years of experience in accounting, audit, and taxation. She currently teaches at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), where she develops and delivers curriculum in financial reporting, assurance, and Canadian tax. Naomi is also a co-author of nationally adopted Canadian auditing and accounting textbooks and collaborates on the integration of evolving standards, DEI, ESG, and Indigenous perspectives in accounting education. As a doctoral candidate in the EdD program at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education, her research explores how CPA-accredited undergraduate accounting programs prepare students for ethical challenges in the profession, particularly considering AI-enabled misconduct. Her study uses Rest’s Four-Component Model of Morality and Biggs’ Constructive Alignment to analyze ethics education and assessment practices in accounting programs. Naomi’s work supports the alignment of academic integrity initiatives with the expectations of the accounting profession and CPA Canada.

Myke Healy is an educational leader with over 20 years of experience in K-12 teaching and administration. He currently serves as Assistant Head – Teaching & Learning at Trinity College School, where he leads academic strategy and faculty development. Myke holds an M.Ed. in assessment and evaluation from Queen’s University and annually facilitates AI-focused modules at the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS) Leadership Institute. As a doctoral candidate in the EdD program at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education, his research examines how K-12 administrators navigate generative AI and academic integrity challenges during technological adoption. His study uses the Technology Acceptance Model, Innovation Diffusion Theory, and the 4M Framework to analyze AI integration and postplagiarism concepts in secondary education.

Postplagiarism: Understanding the Difference Between Referencing and Giving Attribution

September 5, 2025

In a recent talk I did at the University of Toronto Mississauga, I was chatting with a couple of folks afterwards and they asked if one specific slide was available as an infographic. It wasn’t and I promised to follow up. (This blog post is for you Amanda and Victoria!)

Artificial intelligence tools can generate human-like text and knowledge creation has become increasingly collaborative, questions arise about traditional academic practices. Although many conventions are being reimagined, citing, referencing, and attribution remain important. Attribution — acknowledging those who have shaped our thinking—transcends the mechanical act of citing sources according to prescribed formats. It represents an ethical commitment to intellectual honesty and respect (Eaton, 2023).

Attribution is a cornerstone of the postplagiarism framework. In the postplagiarism era, where the boundaries between human and AI-generated content blur and traditional definitions of authorship are challenged, the practice of acknowledging our intellectual influences becomes more vital, not less (Kumar, 2025). Attribution serves multiple purposes: it honors those who contributed to knowledge development, establishes credibility for the writer, and allows readers to explore foundational ideas more deeply.

Many educators and students mistakenly equate attribution with the technical minutiae of citation styles. I am talking here about the precise placement of commas, periods, and parentheses. While these conventions serve practical purposes in academic writing, they represent only the surface of what attribution entails (Gladue & Poitras Pratt, 2024). At its core, attribution demands that we answer questions such as: How do I know what I know? Who were my teachers? Whose ideas have influenced my thinking?

In this post (a re-blog from the postplagiarism site) I explore attribution as an enduring ethical principle within the postplagiarism framework. We’ll distinguish between citation as mechanical practice and attribution as intellectual honesty, examine how attribution practices might evolve with technology, and consider how we might teach attribution as a value rather than merely a skill (Eaton, 2024). Throughout, we’ll keep returning to a central idea: even as definitions of plagiarism transform, the need to recognize and pay respect to those from whom we have learned remains constant.

Attribution vs. Citation: Understanding the Differences

Understanding the distinction between attribution and referencing is crucial in our discussion of academic integrity in a postplagiarism era. The terms ‘referencing’ and ‘attribution’ are often used interchangeably, but they represent fundamentally different approaches to giving credit where it is due. In the table below, I present an overview of some of the differences.

Table 1

Attribution versus Referencing

Citing and Referencing

First, let’s talk about citing and referencing. Citing is often referred to in-text citation. In APA format, for example, we cite sources in the main body of the text as we write. Then, we produce a list of references, usually with the heading “References” at the end of the paper. (I have modelled this practice throughout). If we follow APA, the sources cited in the body of the text should exactly match the sources in the reference list at the end, and vice versa. So, citing and referencing go hand-in-hand. For the purposes of this post, I’ll use the term ‘referencing’ collectively to refer to both citing and referencing, given that the two are intertwined.

A foundational question about referencing is: How can I learn and demonstrate the technical norms of a prescribed style manual?

Let me give you an example of what I mean. I did my undergraduate and master’s degrees in literature. We used the Modern Language Association (MLA) style guide. When I moved over to Education to undertake my PhD, I had to learn a completely different style, the one prescribed by the American Psychological Association (APA), as that is the style used across much of the social sciences. I often describe having to shift from learning MLA style to APA style as intellectual trauma. I had spent years meticulously learning to be rule-compliant to MLA style. I knew the details of MLA style inside and out. Having to learn APA style meant unlearning everything I’d spent years learning about MLA style. My PhD supervisor marked up drafts of my work with a red pen, noting APA errors everywhere.

I bought the APA style guide (we were using the 5th edition back then) and set out to memorize every detail to ensure that I knew the rules. Citing and referencing are taught and evaluated using style guides, checklists, and technical rubrics to evaluate how well someone has followed the rules. Citing and referencing are essentially about rule compliance.

Attribution

Attribution goes beyond the technical aspects of rule compliance. When we give attribution, we dig deeper into questions about our intellectual lineage. We ask: How do I know what I know? Who did I learn from? Who influenced the those from whom I have learned?

Attribution requires meta-cognitive awareness and evaluative judgement. If you are unfamiliar with these concepts, I recommend the work of Bearman and Luckin (2020), Fischer et al. (2024), and Tai et al. (2018). Collectively, they explain evaluative judgement and meta-cognitive awareness better than I ever could.

(If you’re paying attention, you’ll see that I just combined citing with attribution there… I provided the sources as per the citing rules of APA, and I also talked about how I learned about deeper concepts from some terrific folks who have done deep work on the topic. See, you can combine citing and referencing with attribution. It’s not all or nothing.)

We teach attribution through a shared collective understanding, by establishing communal expectations and through (often informal) relational coaching.  

In everyday conversations, we often reference where we learned ideas. We say, “As my grandmother always said…” or “I read in an article that…” These informal attribution practices demonstrate how instinctively we connect ideas to their sources. Citing and referencing formalizes socialized practices that have extended across various cultures for centuries.

When we give attribution, we show gratitude for the conversations, texts, and teachings that have formed our understanding. This perspective shifts attribution from a defensive practice (avoiding plagiarism accusations) to an affirmative one (acknowledging the intellectual debt we owe to others who have generously shared their knowledge with us).

Acknowledging Others’ Work in the Age of GenAI

Generative AI tools have disrupted our traditional understandings of authorship and attribution. These technologies create new questions about intellectual ownership and acknowledgment practices that our citing and referencing systems weren’t designed to address. GenAI models produce outputs based on massive training datasets containing human-created works. When a student uses ChatGPT to draft an essay, the resulting text represents a complex blend of sources that even the AI developers cannot fully trace. This opacity challenges our ability to attribute ideas to their original creators (Kumar, 2025).

The collaborative nature of AI-assisted writing further blurs authorship boundaries. Who deserves credit when a human prompts, edits, and refines AI-generated text? The distinction between tool and co-creator is difficult to establish. This is another tenet in the postplagiarism framework.

In work led by my colleague, Dr. Soroush Sabbagan, we found graduate students wanted agency in how they integrate AI tools while maintaining academic integrity (Sabbaghan and Eaton (2025). The graduate students who participated in our study, “Participants also emphasized the importance of combining their own expertise and judgment with the AI’s suggestions to create truly original research.” (Sabbaghan & Eaton, 2025, p. 18).

The postplagiarism framework offers helpful guidance by distinguishing between control and responsibility. Although students may share control with AI tools, they retain full responsibility for the integrity of their work, including proper attribution of all sources, both human and machine. Ultimately, the goal isn’t to prevent AI use but to cultivate ethical practices for learning, working, and living.

As Corbin et al (2025) have noted, AI presents wicked problems when it comes to assessment. I would extend their idea further by saying that AI presents wicked problems for plagiarism in general. There are no absolute definitions of plagiarism, but if we think about citing, referencing, and giving attribution as ways of preventing or mitigating plagiarism, then AI has certainly complicated everything. These are problems that we do not have all the answers to, but disentangling the difference between rule-based referencing and attribution as a social practice of paying our respects to those from whom we have learned, might be one step forward as we enter into a postplagiarism age.

The ideas I’ve shared here are not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to help folks make sense of some key differences between referencing and giving attribution and to recognize that citing and referencing are deeply connected to rule compliance and technical rules, whereas giving attribution can at times be imprecise, but may in fact be more deeply-rooted in a desire to give respect where it is due.

As I have tried to model above, it does not have to be all or nothing. Referencing can exist in the absence of any desire to respect others for the work they have created and attribution can be given orally or in any variety of ways that may not comply with a technical style guide. When we are working with students, it can be helpful to unpack the differences and talk about why both are need in academic environments.

There is more to say on this topic, but I’ll wrap up here for now. Thanks again to Amanda and Victoria, who nudged me to write down and share ideas that I have been talking about for a few years now.

Strategies to Support First Generation College Students with Academic Integrity

August 27, 2025

I started my Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree 37 years ago this September. (Gosh, that’s a long time ago!) Looking back, I was sooo excited to be a university student… and also terrified. I was the first person in my immediate family to attend university. Now, as a professor, I am committed to helping to create pathways to success for students from equity-deserving groups, those who may be from marginalized or underrepresented groups. Part of this includes academic integrity for these students, who may genuinely have no idea when they start their first year of college what is expected of them.

First-generation college students (also called “first in family” students) are those whose parents did not complete a four-year college degree. These students face unique challenges that some folks in higher education may not fully appreciate. As faculty members, we have both an opportunity and responsibility to create more inclusive and supportive learning environments for these students.

An AI-generated image of A group of students is sitting together in a hallway, engaged in a study session. They are holding notebooks and textbooks, discussing and sharing information. The background shows a bright corridor with natural light coming through large windows.

Understanding the Barriers

First-generation students often navigate college without the cultural capital and informal knowledge that their peers may take for granted. They may be unfamiliar with academic norms, unsure about when and how to seek help, or struggling to balance college demands with family obligations and work responsibilities. These students may also experience heightened anxiety about whether they belong in academic spaces.

The principles I have advocated for in academic integrity work apply directly here. Existing systems in higher education can create barriers for students who don’t arrive with certain forms of privilege. As I have argued elsewhere, there can be no integrity without equity (Eaton, 2022). When we fail to address systemic barriers, we perpetuate conditions that disadvantage particular student groups.

Practical Strategies for Faculty

These strategies may work for many different student, not just first gen ones, but I would argue that we can be especially attentive to first generation students by taking the following into account:

Make the Implicit Explicit

Academic culture is filled with unspoken rules and expectations. What seems obvious to those of us who have spent years in higher education may be completely foreign to first-generation students. As I have learned from my work on equity and academic integrity, “if the system is invisible to you, that is because it was created for you” (Eaton, 2022, p. 6).

Provide detailed rubrics and examples of successful work: Create comprehensive rubrics that clearly articulate expectations for each level of performance. Include examples of student work that demonstrate different quality levels, with annotations explaining what makes each example effective or ineffective. Consider providing both excellent examples and common mistakes to help students understand the full range of expectations.

Explain the purpose behind assignments, not just the requirements: Help students understand the learning objectives and real-world applications of their coursework. For instance, explain how a research paper develops critical thinking skills, information literacy, and written communication abilities that transfer to professional contexts. This contextual understanding helps students engage more meaningfully with their learning.

Use plain language in syllabi and course materials: Avoid unnecessary jargon and academic terminology that may be unfamiliar to first-generation students. When discipline-specific terms are essential, define them clearly. Review your syllabus annually to identify language that might be confusing or intimidating to newcomers to higher education.

Clarify expectations for participation, email communication, and office hour visits: Explicitly teach students how to write professional emails, including appropriate subject lines, greetings, and tone. Explain what constitutes meaningful class participation beyond simply speaking up. Describe what happens during office hours and provide specific examples of productive topics for discussion.

Build Genuine Relationships

Connection matters. First-generation students benefit tremendously from feeling that faculty care about them as individuals. This mirrors what we know from academic integrity research: students are less likely to engage in misconduct when they believe their instructors care about them (Eaton, 2022).

Learn students’ names and use them regularly: Make a conscious effort to learn and use student names from the first week of class. Consider using name tents, seating charts, or other strategies to help with this process. Using names creates a sense of belonging and demonstrates that you see students as individuals rather than anonymous faces in a crowd.

Share your own educational journey when appropriate: If you were a first-generation student yourself, consider sharing relevant aspects of your experience. Even if you weren’t, you can share challenges you faced and how you overcame them. This vulnerability helps normalize struggle and shows students that difficulty doesn’t indicate inadequacy.

Create opportunities for peer interaction and collaboration: Design activities that help students connect with one another, such as think-pair-share exercises, small group discussions, or collaborative projects. These connections can provide crucial academic and social support throughout their college experience.

Be approachable and normalize help-seeking behavior: Explicitly tell students that asking questions is a sign of engagement, not weakness. Share examples of productive questions from past students. Make yourself available through multiple channels and respond to student inquiries promptly and warmly.

Schedule regular check-ins, particularly with students who seem to be struggling: Proactively reach out to students who have missed classes, submitted late work, or seem disengaged. A simple email expressing concern and offering support can make a significant difference. Consider mid-semester individual conferences with all students to discuss their progress and address any concerns.

Address Financial and Time Pressures

Many first-generation students work multiple jobs or have family caregiving responsibilities. Our course design should acknowledge these realities without compromising academic rigor. In some research that I did with a graduate student on mental wellbeing and academic integrity, we found that students experiencing stress may be more vulnerable to academic misconduct (Eaton & Turner, 2020), making supportive course design even more crucial.

Avoid requiring expensive textbooks when alternatives exist: Explore open educational resources (OERs), library reserves, or older editions of textbooks. If expensive materials are necessary, provide information about rental options, used book sources, or financial aid resources that might help students afford them.

Consider the timing of assignment due dates and major exams: Avoid scheduling major assignments during times when students are likely to face additional stressors, such as midterms week or right before holidays when many students increase their work hours. Provide advance notice of all major assignments and deadlines.

Offer multiple pathways to demonstrate learning: Design assessments that allow students to showcase their knowledge in different ways. This might include options for oral presentations instead of written papers, creative projects alongside traditional exams, or multiple smaller assignments rather than a few high-stakes evaluations.

Build flexibility into attendance policies when appropriate: While maintaining reasonable expectations, consider policies that account for the realities of students who may face transportation issues, work conflicts, or family emergencies. Provide clear guidelines about how to communicate absences and make up missed work.

Connect students with campus resources for emergency financial assistance: Learn about your institution’s emergency funding programs and don’t hesitate to refer students who are struggling financially. Many students are unaware these resources exist or feel uncomfortable accessing them without encouragement from faculty.

Provide Proactive Academic Support

Don’t wait for students to ask for help. The cultural norm of self-advocacy may not be familiar to first-generation students, and they may interpret struggling as evidence that they don’t belong. As research on academic integrity and mental health during COVID-19 has shown, students may experience significant anxiety about academic expectations and performance (Eaton & Turner, 2020).

Introduce campus support services early and repeatedly: Don’t just mention writing support and student success workshops once in your syllabus. Regularly remind students about these resources and explain specifically how they can help with course assignments. Consider inviting representatives from student services to visit your class.

Provide feedback throughout the semester, not just at the end: Offer low-stakes opportunities for students to receive feedback on their work before major assignments are due. This might include draft submissions, peer review sessions, or brief conferences about work in progress.

Connect students with tutoring, writing centers, and peer support programs: Make specific referrals rather than general suggestions. For example, “Based on your draft, I think working with the writing center on thesis development would be helpful. Here’s how to make an appointment, and I recommend mentioning that you’re working on argument structure.”

Offer study strategies and time management guidance: Many first-generation students have never been taught effective study techniques. Provide concrete strategies for reading academic texts, taking notes, preparing for exams, and managing large projects over time.

Explain how to read and interpret feedback on assignments: Students may not understand how to use your comments to improve their work. Consider providing examples of how to revise based on feedback or scheduling brief meetings to discuss your comments on major assignments.

Challenge Deficit Thinking

Resist viewing first-generation students through a deficit lens. Instead, recognize the strengths, resilience, and diverse perspectives they bring to your classroom. This aligns with advocacy for decolonizing academic practices and embracing multiple ways of knowing (Eaton, 2022).

Value different forms of knowledge and experience: Acknowledge that students bring valuable perspectives from their work, family, and community experiences. Create opportunities for students to connect course content to their lived experiences and cultural backgrounds.

Incorporate diverse voices and perspectives in your curriculum: Include authors, researchers, and case studies that reflect diverse backgrounds and experiences. This helps all students see themselves reflected in the curriculum while exposing everyone to broader perspectives.

Create assignments that allow students to draw on their backgrounds: Design projects that invite students to explore topics relevant to their communities or to apply course concepts to contexts they know well. This validates their experiences while helping them see the relevance of academic content.

Resist conflating struggle with inability: Normalize the learning process and help students understand that confusion and difficulty are natural parts of intellectual growth. Share examples of how struggle leads to deeper understanding.

Advocate for institutional changes that support student success: Use your voice in departmental and institutional committees to push for policies and practices that better serve first-generation students. This might include advocating for more flexible scheduling, expanded financial aid, or improved support services.

Practice Cultural Humility

Acknowledge that our own educational experiences may differ significantly from those of our students. Be willing to learn about their perspectives and challenges.

Ask students about their needs rather than making assumptions: Use anonymous surveys or informal check-ins to understand what your students are experiencing. Their insights can help you adjust your teaching to better meet their needs.

Be open to feedback about your teaching practices: Create opportunities for students to provide honest feedback about what’s working and what isn’t. Consider mid-semester evaluations or regular pulse checks to gauge student understanding and engagement.

Recognize the limits of your own knowledge and experience: Be honest about what you don’t know about first-generation student experiences and commit to learning more. Attend professional development sessions, read relevant research, and seek out colleagues who have expertise in this area.

Collaborate with student affairs professionals who specialize in first-generation student support: Build relationships with staff in student success centers, counseling services, and first-generation student programs. They can provide valuable insights and serve as resources for your students.

Beyond Individual Action

Individual faculty efforts are essential, but systemic change is equally important. As I have argued in my work on equity in academic integrity, we must advocate for institutional transformation and systemic change (Eaton, 2022).

Within your department and institution, push for professional development focused on supporting first-generation students, policies that address food insecurity and housing instability, expanded financial aid and emergency funding programs, mentoring programs connecting students with faculty, staff, and successful peers, and recognition systems that value inclusive teaching practices.

The Mental Health Connection

There are connections between academic stress and mental health concerns (Eaton & Turner, 2020). For first-generation students, this stress may be compounded by family pressures, financial worries, and feelings of not belonging. Our rapid review of literature during COVID-19 found that students experienced “amplification of students’ anxiety and stress during the pandemic, especially for matters relating to academic integrity” (Eaton & Turner, 2020, p. 37).

Faculty should be attentive to signs of student distress and prepared to connect students with appropriate campus resources. Creating supportive classroom environments can help mitigate some of these stressors. When students feel valued and supported, they are more likely to seek help when needed rather than struggling in isolation.

A Personal Commitment

Supporting first-generation students requires ongoing commitment to equity and inclusion. It means examining our own practices and assumptions, being willing to change course when needed, and advocating for students both inside and outside our classrooms.

The work of creating equitable educational environments is never finished. As I have written elsewhere, “A commitment to allyship is a life’s work, demonstrated throughout our daily ethical practice as educators, leaders, researchers, and human beings” (Eaton, 2022, p. 6). When we commit to supporting first-generation students, we strengthen our entire academic community and move closer to the ideals of fairness and inclusion that should guide higher education.

As educators, we have the power to significantly impact student success. The question is how we use that power to dismantle existing barriers or to create pathways for all students to thrive.
