Academic Integrity through Assessment Design with Mark Glynn

Welcome to Episode 75 of the Think UDL podcast: Academic Integrity through Assessment Design with Mark Glynn. Mark Glynn is the Head of the Teaching Enhancement Unit at Dublin City University. I have been wanting to talk to Mark for a long time about what he is doing with UDL in Ireland and beyond. There are so many things that he and his team are doing to help spread the word and train faculty in UDL, that it was difficult to focus on just one topic. Recently, he has been working on the intersection of UDL, academic integrity and assessment design which has really piqued my interest. And so today’s conversation centers on how to make assessments more “cheat-proof” and authentic, so as to work on the prevention of academic dishonesty rather than “catching” students cheating after the fact, so to speak. And the UDL principles are what guides this design! Mark has also graciously provided many resources that he mentions during our discussion and you can find all of those on our ThinkUDL.org website for this episode number 75. Thank you for joining us as we talk about authentic assessments, academic integrity and UDL!
