What is academic integrity? Why is it important to understand? As we continue to learn and adapt to new changes, students are balancing new elements in their academic lives which can be immensely overwhelming. It\u2019s important to think of how we can do this in the best way possible. In our #LearnWithIntegrity Campaign, we explored these themes for students by developing a visual campaign accessible for all, to help students learn and understand the meaning behind academic integrity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our <\/span><\/span>Design Thinking Process for #LearnWithIntegrity<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>Academic Integrity & Communications Teams at the <\/span>iHub<\/span> have<\/span> been<\/span> work<\/span>ing<\/span> closely <\/span>together <\/span>to better understand what <\/span>students <\/span>may or may not <\/span>know<\/span> about academic integrity. After conducting secondary <\/span>research<\/span> and <\/span>hearing student perspectives on<\/span> this topic<\/span>, <\/span>our teams decided to <\/span>emphasize <\/span>two main messages<\/span>: <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 1) Providing Help & Resources  <\/p>\n

En<\/span>courag<\/span>ing<\/span> students<\/span> to ask for help and use available resources rather than committing an academic offence. <\/span><\/p>\n

2) What is Academic Integrity?<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Giving <\/span>examples of academic honesty vs dishonesty in <\/span>our everyday work<\/span> to clarify common misconceptions <\/span>students may have.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

By using powerful messaging, we hope students can use this as a teaching moment to help support them in their<\/span> educational journeys. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Providing Help & Resources <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our first overarching theme we explore how it\u2019s okay to reach out for support to ensure we are all learning with integrity. This piece of our campaign aims to be empowering so that students take advantage of the academic resources that exist at UofT, and to avoid exam-related stress especially within an online environment. Whether it be emailing your instructor, connecting with the writing centre or utilizing UofT libraries, these resources are strictly available to students for the sole reason of supporting students in their academic journey. If students are paying for these resources, why not use them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Academic Integrity? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Academic Integrity might be a term mentioned in a student’s syllabus or in the first day of classes, but how does it look in action? In this portion of the campaign, our team explored how some students aren\u2019t entirely sure of what academic integrity truly means. To clarify this concept better, we\u2019ve provided examples of what academic integrity does and doesn\u2019t look like. For instance, students should be aware that collaborative work is an integral part of learning for most students. However, collaborating by sharing answers, copying a student\u2019s work, messaging during an exam, are all forms of academic dishonesty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A whirlwind of challenges emerged once shifting to an online classroom environment, but no matter how courses are being delivered, academic integrity still applies. The validity of our education is contingent on students engaging in honest work. We hope students feel encouraged to make well-informed decisions this academic year through the #LearnWithIntegrity campaign.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
