Interactive session

 25 May 2023

 14:45–15:45

 B4 - Classroom 003

Attendees are encouraged to participate in a 10-minute survey about academic integrity in higher education to help the facilitators prepare (deadline 20 May).

Join us for an interactive session on academic integrity where we pinpoint issues specific to AMICAL institutions and collectively brainstorm solutions. Plagiarism has interesting cultural nuances in our settings and the evolution of technology (essay writing AI etc.) is having a massive impact not just on writing courses but on academia as a whole. This is something that concerns us all: from leadership to faculty, writing centers, librarians, and IT specialists. This cross-institutional and cross-departmental discussion and brainstorming session is a rare opportunity to think about our current challenges and the future of teaching and learning. Come with concerns and questions and leave with answers and an action plan.
