Held in New Orleans, I discussed &#8220;<em>jazzing up<\/em>&#8221; academic integrity, being far from the only conference presenter to include a local reference.<\/p>\n<p>The talk focused on my recent work showing the low-cost (and free) providers of contract cheating services to students. Really, this isn&#8217;t all that new, as even the earliest studies of contract cheating agency websites I conducted with Robert Clarke showed that students could connect directly with providers for low-cost solutions. The Gig Economy just brings that finding into the mainstream.<\/p>\n<p>The slides I used are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/ThomasLancaster\">on my SlideShare account<\/a>. They are also included below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 1px solid #CCC; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/McVO9J04MurRXx\" width=\"595\" height=\"485\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This was one of my favourite presentations to give, thanks to a highly receptive audience in the United States who are just starting to come around to the idea of contract cheating being a problem there. Someone asked after they could buy the book on Slide 22, but it is a fake book, designed to just show what is easily possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contract cheating did turn out to be one of the major themes of the conference<\/strong>, with presentations showing different levels of maturity of understanding of the global problem.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a photo from the start of the presentation.
