A brief excerpt from a work in progress – Blurred Lines: Academic Dishonesty in the 21st Century Classroom (a collaboration with Christopher Clark, Ed.D.).

With technology now considered a legitimate learning tool in the 21st century classroom, there is a need for a clear definition and practical guidelines concerning academic dishonesty in the digital age. As Christensen Horn, and Johnson noted, “Educators, like the rest of us, tend to resist major change. But this shift in the learning platform, if managed correctly – which means disruptively – is not a threat. It is an opportunity.” [1] An opportunity to provide a framework, like that of Hobbs and Coiro [2] that places stakeholders at the center of creating a culture of integrity.
