TPS Touchpoint: Academic Integrity

This month’s highlighted results from the Teaching Practices Survey (TPS) focus on academic integrity.  

• 79% of survey participants currently discuss academic integrity in class and an additional 16% don’t but plan to do so (Okanagan Campus Report, p. 12). 
• In terms of professional development, 63% reported interest in support related to teaching students about academic integrity, with a preference for asynchronous online resources compared to synchronous workshops. (Okanagan Campus Report, p. 12). 

If you are someone looking for teaching resources related to academic integrity, please bookmark the Teaching and Learning section of the UBC Academic Integrity website and the Resources and Support section for faculty that includes a Syllabus Language Template and Course Design and Assessment Design Checklists to help reduce academic misconduct. 

There are also several resources available for you to incorporate academic integrity content your courses, including: 

• Academic Integrity Matters (AIM) Canvas modules: 

• • Writing & Plagiarism 
  • Unauthorized Collaboration & Cheating 
  • Academic Integrity in the Visual Arts 

• Take Five presentation materials to adopt to use in class

• • Presentation slides 
  • Notes

On the Take Five webpage, you can also complete a form if you are interested in having an academic integrity staff member talk to your class.
