Panel: Misbehavior Online in Higher Education

As interaction in higher education among faculty, staff, students and others becomes even more digital, the welter of new online communication technologies has unintentionally provided many opportunities for misconduct. As a result of this unfortunate increase in misbehavior, administrators and instructors are being called upon to prevent, manage and respond to such behavior. Panelists for this program will present research, case studies and or other information related to understanding attitudes, and responding to various misbehaviors including cyberbullying, cyberstalking, cyberslacking, privacy invasion, cheating, and academic dishonesty. Many of the presenters are chapter authors in a forthcoming book Misbehavior Online in Higher Education, which is the fifth volume in the book series, Cutting-edge Technologies in Higher Education, published by Emerald Publishing, UK.
