Session 1
Harden up – Rethinking approaches to misconduct, detection and assurance of learning
Most current approaches to academic integrity rely upon a singular view of students and their learning. These approaches also rely on several assumptions about students, their commitment to learning, and our capacities to detect when learning has not occurred. In this talk, Kane will explore some of these assumptions and discuss alternatives for current approaches to misconduct and assessment design.
Presenter: Dr. Kane Murdoch
Kane is Head of Complaints, Appeals and Misconduct at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. At Macquarie he is responsible for the handling of complaints, appeals and disciplinary processes, and continues his work on the detection of contract cheating and better ways to handle misconduct. He is recognized as a leading authority on the detection of contract cheating and handling of serious misconduct in higher education.

Session 2
The New Frontier of Academic Integrity: Postplagiarism and Its Implications
As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) increasingly permeates post-secondary education, traditional notions of plagiarism, authorship, and creativity are being profoundly challenged. This session explores the concept of postplagiarism, a paradigm shift that acknowledges the hybridization of human and AI-generated content. Based on a quantitative study involving students from multiple countries, the session will share students’ perceptions of postplagiarism, focusing on their acceptance of hybrid writing, the evolving role of creativity, and the necessity of redefining academic integrity in this new context. Attendees will gain insights into the implications of these shifts for educational policy and practice and the need for institutions to rethink their academic integrity frameworks in the face of rapid technological advancements.
Presenter: Dr. Rahul Kumar
Rahul is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Studies at Brock University. In his research, he focuses on the disruptive force of genAI on education, and its effect on academic integrity and strategies to cope with the challenges. Though most of his work has focused on higher education, he has also taken an interest and undertaken research projects on the effect of genAI in secondary school classrooms and schools. The thread that connects his research is “Changing Nature of (Higher) Education.”

Academic Integrity in the Irish Higher Education System: Lessons Learnt and Reflections along the Way
In 2019, legislation was passed in Ireland that criminalized the provision or advertisement of contract cheating services. Shortly thereafter, the National Academic Integrity Network, which brings together representatives from across the Irish higher education sector (and more recently the vocational/further education sector), was established. Throughout its five years of existence, NAIN has encouraged and supported the development of cultures of academic integrity in higher education institutions and produced resources to guide and assist institutions. Since 2023, elements of the N-TUTORR project, a national program of activity aimed at building capacity in the relatively new technological university sector, has been building upon and working in partnership with NAIN to progress and support the implementation of NAIN resources. In this webinar, the chair of NAIN and the N-TUTORR academic integrity project lead will discuss the benefits of collaboration and partnership and reflect upon lessons learnt.
Presenters:
- Mairéad Boland, Assistant Registrar at South East Technological University in Carlow, Ireland
- Billy Kelly, Chair, National Academic Integrity Network (NAIN – Ireland); former Assistant Registrar and Dean of Teaching and Learning, Dublin City University,

Session 5
Neutralizing the “Threat”: A Practitioners Guide to Re-Evaluating Student Assessments to Maintain Academic Integrity
Technology and various tools have the power to disrupt learning and compromise academic integrity. The onslaught of genAI has caused many of us to reconsider our assessments, yet the task of assessment redesign can be daunting, and we may not know where to begin. This presentation discusses four broad “filters” through which educators can consider how to best move forward (or not) with an existing assessment. When considered with other concepts, theories, and contextual factors, these filters may help enrich our decision-making. The four filters are, Abandon, Monitor, Enhance, & Adopt, and they all intended to help “neutralize the threat” to assessments. Overall, these filters are intended to provide a guide or framework for faculty (or used by those who coach or work with faculty) when they are considering assessment redesign while promoting academic integrity.

Session 6
Transforming Assessment Practices in Higher Education with the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS)
As the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies have become increasingly ubiquitous in HE, higher education institutions must equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary for an AI-driven future. Although some HEIs have attempted to ban the use of these tools and enforce this through an AI text detection strategy, this session proposes an alternative solution to this challenge. The AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) developed by Perkins et al. (2024), offers a flexible framework for incorporating GenAI into educational assessments while promoting academic integrity and ethical use of these technologies. It consists of five allowable levels of AI use in submitted assessments, ranging from ‘No AI’ to ‘AI Exploration’, enabling educators to design assessments that focus on areas requiring human input and critical thinking. This intervention will explore the challenges of attempting to use a detection-based approach to dealing with GenAI use in assessments, introduce the AIAS as a possible alternative, and discuss the findings of a pilot study of the AIAS at British University Vietnam (BUV) which has demonstrated significant benefits in reducing misconduct and supporting student engagement and attainment.
Presenter: Dr. Mike Perkins
Mike is an Associate Professor and Head of the Centre for Research & Innovation at British University Vietnam. Mike carried out his university studies at The University of York, UK, where he completed his PhD in Operations Management, focusing on public perceptions of policing service.

The GenAI Footprint in Scholarly Publications Reflects the Complex Issues of Academic Integrity in the Post-Plagiarism Era
March 5th, 2024, 10h am EST (Montréal)
Lecturer: Gengyan Tang, and Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton
Webinar description: To come The GenAI Footprint has increasingly appeared in scholarly publications. We conducted a rapid investigation and ongoing monitoring of this phenomenon. Our initial evidence reveals cases of complete plagiarism involving ChatGPT-generated content by both faculty and students in certain countries. Further evidence from our ongoing tracking indicates that this phenomenon is spreading across a wider range of publication types and appearing in journals of varying quality (both high- and low-tier), signaling a global issue. This raises concerns about the emergence of “bad apples” in the quality assurance of higher education in the post-plagiarism era and calls for a systemic response to tackle this challenge.
Gengyan Tang, MA, is a PhD student in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary. His research interests include research integrity and academic integrity. Gengyan currently serves as a peer reviewer for academic journals such as Accountability in Research, Journal of Scholarly Publishing, and BMC Medical Education.

Support for Victims of Academic Integrity Misconduct.
Webinar description: Academic integrity misconduct and research malpractice usually impact particular people, for whom it can be difficult to find redress. Therefore, the Facing Academic Integrity Threats Project in cooperation with the European Network for Academic Integrity established a web portal providing support to anybody who has been affected by unethical practices in academia. This Victims Support Portal is a platform where anyone can post a question to receive impartial and personal advice from a team of mentors, who are academic integrity experts. Apart from the tailored advice, the Portal also contains a collection of potentially useful materials such as various guidelines or inspirational stories.
This webinar aims to present the “Victims Support Portal”, how it works, and how it can help you or your colleagues. There will be also a brief overview of research on experiences and support needs regarding academic integrity, academic misconduct, and questionable practices. The conclusion part of the webinar will be dedicated to a discussion on how institutions and also individuals can help and support colleagues affected by academic misconduct.

March 26th, 2024, 10h am (EST, Montréal), PUPP collaborator Ph.D. candidate Pegi Pavletić will present the webinar “Croatian students’ ombudspersons: What support do the students need and how effective are they as ombuds?“
To register: https://uqo.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYof-mqqTsrHNUHYZGvDGuxlwTOITpqYy9a
Abstract: “Croatian Law on Student council and Other Students’ Organizations determines that the students at all Croatian higher education institutions can have their rights protected by students’ ombudspersons. These ombudspersons are selected from among the students themselves at public elections at every faculty, and one of these representatives is a coordinator at the level of the Universities. Within the Croatian Students’ Council, a national students’ ombudsperson coordinator has their office. The role of the students’ ombudspersons is to provide consultations on the matters of academic integrity, help students in defending their rights in ethical or judicial procedures at universities, and to help them get the information they need.
The goal of this webinar is to present this system of students acting as ombudspersons, and to collect and present ombuds’ experiences related to the issues students face most often, connected to students’ rights and academic integrity. We will also speak about the ombuds’ support at the institution, the training opportunities they get and the quality of collaboration at the institutional level in relation to academic integrity. We will investigate whether they have sufficient support, and if not, why is that and how can their training be improved.
The outcome of this webinar would be to engage in a fruitful discussion with others that might be involved in working with students in academic integrity, collecting advice on how to more effectively engage students and train them in the topic, and how can the students engage more actively and train themselves.”
Lecturer: Pegi Pavletić is a Ph.D. candidate in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Biotechnology, field: medicinal chemistry, at the University of Camerino in Italy. She is a member of the Steering Committee of the Quality Assurance Pool of Student Experts under the European Students’ Union. She is a former member of the Executive Committee of the European Students’ Union, focusing on the fields of Quality Assurance, Academic Integrity and Recognition. She was a President of the Croatian Students’ Council and a two-time President of the Students’ Council at the University of Rijeka, where she collaborated with students’ ombudspersons and the national students’ ombudspersons coordinator.

February 27th, 2024, 10h am (EST, Montréal), PUPP researcher Sébastien Béland will present the webinar “Intentional Plagiarism: Testing Risk Aversion Hypothesis”
To register: https://uqo.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtf-yspj0qHdwz8pTGm276_t3k_RttZqvm
Abstract: This webinar explores the idea that intentional plagiarism can be a risk adverse behavior, which can be seen in a large variety of contexts (Mandrick & Bao, 2005) and even in the animal kingdom (Zhang, Brennan & Lo, 2014). Using three different data collections, this study investigated French-Canadian undergraduate education students’ (i) inclination to take risks in life and (ii) their likelihood of intentional plagiarism in different scenarios involving varying degrees of risk of being caught. Our finding shows that 60% of students declare themselves as non risk-takers. Thus, we will show that the risk adverse hypothesis seems plausible and we suggest that students are more susceptible to plagiarise when the stakes are high and the risk of being caught is low.
Lecturer: Sébastien Béland is an Associate Professor in the Department of Administration and Educational Foundations at the Université de Montréal. His passion for research and statistics is reflected in his areas of expertise: assessment (objectives, tools and practice), measurement and research methods.
