Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW), through its Office of Continuing and Distance Education, and partnering with Canvas.net, just announced it will be offering a massive open online course (MOOC) for the first 1,000 students who register.
The course, Understanding Cheating in Online Courses, is being offered May 6 through June 30 and will be taught by Bernard Bull, Ed.D. of CUW. Dr. Bull is the Assistant Vice President of Academics and an Associate Professor of Educational Design and Technology at CUW.
“We are excited to provide this open course as a way to promote a global conversation about the many aspects of academic integrity in the digital world,” said Dr. Bull. “Since CUW has close to 2,000 online students, in 19 different programs, we have a strong commitment to academic quality when it comes to online learning,” Dr. Bull added.
Participants in the eight-week open course will examine the different perspectives of cheating to help them cultivate a culture of honesty, integrity, and accountability in online courses. The end goal will be to gain a deeper understanding of cheating in online courses.
Those interested in the course can enroll at www.canvas.net. Participants do not need to be a registered student in school to take the course. There is no fee for those who register and no credits will be awarded. For more information regarding this course please contact the Office of Continuing and Distance Education online@cuw.edu at or 1-800-665-6564.
