Abstract:
Academic integrity is central to college life. Numerous surveys find that cheating in American colleges and universities is a serious problem. In order to create an educational diversion program aimed at students who were caught cheating, Ball StateUniversity applied for, and received, a large grant from the United States Department of Education. Those funds went towards the creation of The MITT (Multimedia Integrity Teaching Tool), which will be used on this campus and will be distributed to other campuses. Early assessments of the program revealed that faculty members would welcome The MITT if it were easy to use. A MITT referral procedure was designed and assessed by 14 Ball State faculty members. The final form of the recommended MITT procedure is presented and discussed.
