Over time, 'detection' took over educational integrity; a small part became the whole. It turned higher education into an admin arms race of false positives, investigative work, and backlogs; and repeat.
Now much more than an 'uncomfortable' process for educators ("how do I know if this student learned?") it's often combative. So T&L environments are not safe spaces, neither for teaching nor learning.
And institutionally, detection is simply not doing as intended in this 2026 AI era: ensuring public confidence in graduates or degrees.
So thank you to Derek Newton for reviewing what we're trying to do - something very different - and then opening up the floor in the latest edition of The Cheat Sheet. Anyone in higher education knows that this candid substack is a much-needed lens, challenging the sector and upholding the ethics of learning. We're happy to be part of these conversations.
In short, universities with Studiosity are
📍 constantly building graduate skills in and around -all- assessments, and
📍 enabling their students to self validate at assessment submission;
...all without asking more of educators.
Because the learning is the point, and how the student got there matters.
