Contract Cheating in the Gig Economy

Contract cheating is an international problem, but most of the attention to this has taken place in the UK and Australia. This also began to emerge as a theme at the International Centre for Academic Integrity Conference, which took place in New Orleans, USA, in March 2019.

Here are slides for the presentation “Contract Cheating in the Gig Economy” which looked at what we know about the low-cost writing services that students have access to.

The slides are available on Thomas Lancaster’s SlideShare account. They are also included below.


Who Writes The Assignments For Our Students?

One area of contract cheating that we need to know more about relates to who writes and produces the assignments and essays on behalf of students?

In these presentation slides, I brought together much of what we already know as a sector or which can be observed online. I also presentation some of my ongoing research into this problem.

The slides I used are available on my SlideShare account. They are also included below.
