Redesigning high-risk assessments to engage students and address contract cheating

On 13 October 2020, the Minister for Education, the Hon Dan Tehan MP officially launched TEQSA’s new Academic Integrity Toolkit. The new toolkit is a result of a major project led by the late Professor Tracey Bretag with $150,000 funding from the Australian government. The toolkit is comprised of four main sections. The ‘Contract Cheating’ section includes useful resources and three selected case studies from Australian universities; one of which was contributed by Dr Samer Skaik. The case study is entitled “Redesigning high-risk assessments to engage students and address contract cheating” and it is based upon Dr Skaik’s scholarly practice in teaching ‘PPMP20015-Research in Project Management’ at CQUniversity over the last three years.
