Webinar Opportunity Today - Rethinking Academic Integrity

Rethinking Academic Integrity: How Institutions Can Foster Originality Without Fear

  • Thursday, April 3
  • 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET 

Plagiarism detection alone is no longer enough—and in some cases, it’s actively harming institutions. With student enrollment more competitive than ever, punitive approaches to academic integrity risk driving students away. Instead of focusing on catching misconduct, how can institutions create a culture that encourages originality and ethical writing from the start?

Join Packback and the League for a discussion on the future of academic integrity, where we’ll explore:

  • The risks of a detection-first approach, including legal challenges and enrollment impacts.
  • How AI-generated content is shifting the plagiarism conversation.
  • Strategies for proactively supporting students in developing authentic work.
  • How Packback’s Originality tool empowers students to self-check their work before submission, without punitive consequences.

Learn how your institution can move beyond outdated plagiarism policies and toward a model that builds student confidence, fosters creativity, and protects academic integrity. 

Presenters: Kelsey Behringer, CEO, Packback; Carley Reis, Vice Provost, Online Learning, University of Nevada - Reno
