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

This resource can be embedded into any platform, making it versatile for use by UCD students or adaptable by colleagues from other universities to suit their specific contexts, whether by modifying the examples or the format. It was developed in response to feedback from students who found academic integrity policies tedious and challenging to understand. The goal is to enhance students’ comprehension of the rationale behind the policy, as well as the meanings of key concepts and definitions it includes like collusion, plagiarism, self-plagiarism.
