Abstract: Academic Integrity infringements have been present since the use of manual typewriters. Technology has only enhanced the ever present problem of cheating. Let us first tackle the problem of identifying just what IS academic Integrity, and how the educator can help discourage, or even prevent violations. This article delves into several areas of academic integrity: the current problem, types of violations, reasons students cheat, understanding the responsibility of students, faculty members and administrators, and finally, steps we can take to prevent violations of academic integrity. Has the use of the Internet escalated violations of Academic Integrity? This paper looks into that very possibility. Also addressed is the question of whether the Internet has expedited the use of online plagiarism. Included will be websites that promote plagiarism, and websites that will promote anti-plagiarism.
