Nurturing Integrity: Unpacking the Educator’s Role

Join us for an evidence-informed session about how understandings of academic integrity are evolving. Sarah Elaine Eaton will talk about how updated approaches to academic integrity extend beyond student conduct and include instructional integrity and ethical assessment. Eaton will present the Comprehensive Academic Integrity (CAI) framework and share practical ideas about how and why academic integrity is about more than just preventing plagiarism or catching cheating on exams.

We will look at the role equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and decolonization play in academic integrity. Of course, we will also look at how artificial intelligence is changing everything related to teaching, learning and assessment. This will be a jam-packed and thought-provoking session designed to inform and inspire.
