Abstract
Editorial, Volume 5(2)
Highlights
Astore spoke boldly to conference delegates of the ‘wider dimensions of academic integrity’, using anecdotes from his own experience as a military instructor at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and as a history professor at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. He convincingly argued that systemic breaches of integrity are far more harmful than individual lapses such as student cheating because they compromise the institution as a whole. In his Address, Astore was openly critical of the marketisation of higher education, a topic which was explored at the 4th Asia-Pacific Conference on Educational Integrity: Creating an Inclusive Approach, held in September at the University of Wollongong in NSW, Australia
This paper provides a thorough overview of recent changes in Australian higher education
Grace McCarthy and Ann Rogerson from the University of Wollongong in NSW, Australia, share the results of a trial at the Sydney Business School where 61 international students were encouraged to use ‘originality reports’ provided by the software program Turnitin to assess the originality of their own work and avoid inadvertent plagiarism
Summary
In his Address, Astore was openly critical of the marketisation of higher education, a topic which was explored at the 4th Asia-Pacific Conference on Educational Integrity: Creating an Inclusive Approach, held in September at the University of Wollongong in NSW, Australia. The authors provide a preliminary series of ‘probability factors’ which might be used to determine ‘intent’ and call for further research in this little explored aspect of academic integrity.
