Doctors faced with retaking a gruelling Royal Australasian College of Physicians exam after a "glitch" had raised concerns with the format for months.

Hundreds of trainee doctors will be forced to resit a high-stakes medical exam after a technical glitch locked candidates out of an online test before they finished on Monday. The Royal Australasian College of Physicians said an "unknown technical fault" was to blame for trainees not being able to finish their basic training test at sites across Australia and New Zealand. College president Dr Catherine Yelland expressed disappointment at the glitch and apologised to trainee candidates for "the distress caused" on Monday.

Feedback from assessment was an area for development in nine reviews in Scotland during the last review cycle. In 2014-15 we ran a Focus On: Assessment and Feedback project. We want to look at how the sector has progressed since then.

In Introductory Psychology, 30 graduate TAs/faculty teach 2700 students annually. This year we developed an assessment program to improve student learning and graduate teaching training (Shigeto et al., 2010). Part of the program studied the pedagogical value of using student response systems to answer in-class multiple choice questions. Prior research lacks scientific rigor and provides equivocal evidence that SRSs improve learning (Caldwell, 2007). Via Stephen Bright

Our institutional and/or course policies aren’t doing much to stop cheating in college. How we get students to realize how much cheating hurts them? It has nothing to do with whether they're caught, but rather the personal consequences.

While there is growing awareness of the existence and activities of Academic Custom Writing websites, which form a small part of the contract cheating industry, how they work remains poorly understood. Very little research has been done on these sites, probably because it has been assumed that it is impossible to see behind their firewalls and password protection. We have found that, with some close scrutiny, it is indeed possible to find some ‘cracks’ in these sites through which we can look to gain insights into the business processes that operate within them. We have reverse engineered the business processes that operate within some of these sites. From this we have also been able to identify three different business models that are supported by these sites. Our analysis supports important findings about how these sites operate that can be used to inform future strategies to detect and deter contract cheating.

Students often find themselves uploading their content — their creative work — into the learning management system. Perhaps they retain a copy of the file on their computer; but with learning analytics and plagiarism detection software, they still often find themselves having their data scanned and monetized, often without their knowledge or consent.
