Ethics and Integrity in Education (Practice)
Description
This book offers a collection of effective and insightful practices in academic integrity through diverse perspectives and global contexts. Contributors ranging from faculty, academic integrity leads, academic conduct officers, student support staff, independent researchers and students in nine different countries share their collective knowledge and understanding based on their roles, work and study in academic integrity. The main themes of the chapters focus on innovation and collaboration, community and culture, stakeholders in academic integrity and awareness of breaches and ethics. Within these themes, the contributors explore Artificial Intelligence tools, inclusion, collaboration with students, networks, publishing, setting up research offices, student champions at high school and university, and academic conduct breaches. The chapters end with calls to action and recommendations for readers to incorporate into their practice. In these ways, the book aims to raise awareness of important issues in academic integrity contexts and support the continued development of practice.
