Description

This lesson is designed to teach students about academic integrity from understanding the principles and encouraging a perspective that they are equal partners in upholding academic integrity.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

I encourage people to tailor the lesson to their institutions and to share with students. The aim is to help students avoid academic impropriety and to work together with their institution to uphold the integrity of their degrees. This can be directly implemented into an LMS and can be altered using the Articulate Rise tool. The way it was implemented at my institution was by making the lesson a requirement before students could submit their first CA. The hope is that the lesson will help guide students away from academic improprieties and to reduce cases of academic impropriety.
