HonestyPledge API primes students to submit honest assignments and exams

 

Let’s be honest.

Large number of otherwise good students believe it is ok to bend the truth when advancing their careers. We don’t think that is ok.

As people cheat more online than offline, dishonesty grows with online learning. Moreover, with the prevalence of new technologies, it gets even harder to separate students’ work from that generated by technology.

And relying on detection is not sufficient. So we help students stay honest and support academic institutions build the character of their future graduates.

The 3-second, patent-pending HonestyPledge API appeals to students’ moral compass as they ‘swipe’ their honesty, when they apply for school, take exams or submit papers.

The HonestyPledge API is built on behavioral economics insights and machine learning, and has been shown to decrease dishonesty by 40% in control-based study by Yale faculty.

 

  • RATIONALISING DISHONESTY

    Many otherwise good students rationalize that it is ok to use technology such as AI in submissions.

  • NON-SUSPICIOUS SUBMISSIONS

    Most submissions created with help from AI are edited by students and therefore difficult to identify or prove.

  • LIMTED GRADING TIME

    Most submissions have a deadline for grading, allowing faculty little time to investigate possible cheating.

  • DIGITAL INCREASES DISHONESTY

    As people cheat more online and when distanced from interactions, dishonesty grows with digital submissions.

Brief, positive intervention with significant and measurable impact

Patent-pending HonestyPledge API is easily integrated into your online submission process to appear just before a student receives or submits their assignment or exam.

HonestyPledge triggers moral reflection for those intending to bend the truth, as students ‘swipe’ their honesty commitment, generating millisecond behavioral clues, like pulse beats.

Our honesty algorithm continuously reflects latest behavioral science and dishonesty insights, derived from user data and in collaboration with leading behavioral economics faculty.
