Authors: Allen, S., Mayer, M. and Bickle, E.

Conference: Fusion Learning Conference 2021

Abstract:

The issue: Eaton and Turner (2020) indicate that the Covid-19 pandemic has led to an increase in anxiety and stress in students, particularly around the issue of academic integrity. Lancaster and Cotarlan (2021) found an apparent increase in student cheating during the Covid-19 pandemic. At a time of crisis, students have become academically vulnerable, with temptations to outsource assignments, plagiarise, purposefully fail to repeat, or sell own work being recognised.

The practice: The international Center for Academic Integrity (2021) have established six core values of academic integrity: HONESTY; TRUST; FAIRNESS; RESPECT; RESPONSIBILITY; COURAGE.

Walking alongside the student on their scholarly journey, our key tenets are our subject-specific In-curriculum bespoke series of structured lectures, workshops, and support tutorials which focuses on writing and learning modalities, academic Integrity, assessment interrogation, diagnostic essays and presentations.
