Cheating Learning Analytics

As and instructor, I'd like to know which students and sections are more likely to be cheating on lab reports than others, perhaps through and "Integrity" or "Honesty" Dashboard (analytics).

 

Potential evidence of cheating, whether within this term or previous terms at my university

  • Data on my lab report is similar to another student's data, 
  • High degree of correlation between my written open-ended answers to questions and that of another student. 
  • Alignment of submission times with another student for the many calculations and questions answered
  • Etc.

 

This would, of course, be an evolving feature. Simply showing students whose data are aligned could be a first start, perhaps with a similar color on a row of the student data table. Perhaps later a weekly email report. But eventually breaking this out into its own dashboard metric with a composite score would be nice.

Perhaps with auto-warnings to students when they exceed a certain composite score so they can self-correct.
