Abstract

This presentation reports on the first year results of an Australian Learning and Teaching Council grant, Academic integrity standards: Aligning policy and practice in Australian universities. The paper provides a summary of the key findings relating to policy analysis, a student survey comprised of over 10,000 responses, and interviews and focus groups of academic integrity stakeholders. It is anticipated that the project deliverables (exemplars supported by teaching and learning resources) will build on international best practice and contribute to the development of a shared culture of academic integrity across the Australian higher education sector.
