Paper Abstract:
|
How do we close the gap between the lack of academic experience incoming students have - with the expectation that students know the rules of writing and taking exams? Academic integrity (AI) is essential in post-secondary academia yet insufficient time is allocated to teaching and practicing its concepts. Talks at orientation, lectures in the first class, and notations in the course syllabus have been used to assist students with the academic transition to university, but have been less effective at increasing the students level of academic integrity (Bertram Gallant, 2011; Josephson Institute of Ethics (see www.josephsoninstitute.org/reportcard). One solution is to provide students with information about institutional academic expectations in advance of the first day of classes yet, a number of barriers exist, including limitations in the learning management systems (LMS) and firewalls blocking access to external content. Developing a mobile AI learning application would circumvent the LMS and firewall issues and enable information to be made available prior to students arrival, thereby acculturating them to university values and academic integrity rules to help support student success well before classes begin. |
