Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it
The FAIR Game – Academic Integrity Scenarios resource provides educators with adaptable, ready-to-use materials to embed ethics and integrity training into their teaching. The scenarios can be used as case studies in lectures, tutorials, or workshops to prompt discussion and reflection on academic decision-making.
Educators can integrate the scenarios into gamified learning modules, quizzes, or digital storytelling platforms to encourage active learning. Academic developers may use them to co-create discipline-specific examples with students, while instructional designers can embed them into online learning environments or assessment tasks. The resource promotes critical thinking, ethical awareness, and student engagement while supporting flexible use across disciplines and teaching levels.
