15.00-16.00 12 Mar 2025
Part of the Academic Integrity online webinar series Feb/Mar 2025
New technologies can send educators and policy makers into a tizzy about academic cheating. It happened with the Internet and it’s happening again with artificial intelligence.
In this session we will focus on how to maintain our humanity when thinking about what it means to teach, learn, and assess with integrity. This isn’t about giving students a free pass. It’s about future-proofing integrity so we keep the focus on student learning and development.
A key takeaway from this talk is how inclusion, equity, and human rights and can guide our approaches to academic misconduct and promote ethical decision-making for everyone in our learning community.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- The role of human rights and dignity in academic integrity policy, procedure, and practices
- How artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting academic ethics
- How equity and inclusion are essential aspects of academic integrity
