Academic Integrity Perspectives and Current Trends

SESSION OVERVIEW

There are complications when students arrive in higher education through a variety of streams with a range of understanding on what academic integrity is and the importance of integrity as a broader social issue. Students’ prior education experiences will impact how effective their transition is into meeting the expectations of higher education institutions while shifting to be an adult responsible for their own actions. This presentation discusses some of the current trends identified in current student cohorts and the implications of managing and supporting academic misconduct cases.  Further and based on previous presentations time is provided to allow for questions and discussion of the issues identified and other related issues identified by attendees.
