Generative AI and Academic Integrity in Conestoga COMM and ENGL Courses

Generative AI and Academic Integrity in Conestoga COMM and ENGL Courses

CCEWI's latest research project investigates the impact of generative AI (GenAI) tools on academic integrity in writing courses taught by the college's communications department. The project explores the degree to which academic integrity violations (AIVs) relate to the unauthorized use of GenAI by students enrolled in these courses, and it identifies priorities among faculty for addressing this ever-pressing issue. We first solicited quantitative data from Conestoga’s Academic Integrity Office on the number of AIVs in all communications and English courses taught in the School of Interdisciplinary Studies from the fall 2023 semester to the spring 2025 semester. Full-time communications professors were also surveyed to gain corresponding qualitative data on their impressions of the frequency of AIVs over the last two academic years, particularly those related to GenAI.
