The transition to an online instructional and learning environment during the COVID-19 pandemic at The University of Southern Mississippi created new stressors among faculty and students. Unfamiliar learning and instructional environments produced an almost quadrupling in the reported academic misconduct cases for the 2020-2021 academic year. In response, the Center for Faculty Development developed a workshop to better equip faculty to proactively detect and deter academic misconduct. Faculty were introduced to elements of course design, transparent communication, clear expectations, and flexibility that deter academic misconduct, and they were made aware of academic misconduct detection resources.
