What we do

AAIN members use the network for sharing resources, showcasing good practice, seeking advice on academic integrity matters, benchmarking their own operations, and sharing information on academic integrity events, publications and developments (such as lists of contract cheating websites). The Network also hosts webinars itself and distributes information on webinars offered by other key organisations involved in academic integrity practice and research.
A major aspect of this support for the higher education sector is the AAIN National Academic Integrity Forum. Our third Forum will be held on 22 September 2023 and is open to all staff in higher education institutions in Australia and New Zealand. (Link to the Forum website goes in here.)
Working cooperatively, members are committed to upholding academic integrity within their institutions and across the sector. The Network establishes working groups to respond to particular needs and opportunities. For example, in 2023 we have developed three major documents concerning the impact of generative artificial intelligence tools on higher education: AAIN Generative Artificial Intelligence Guidelines; a Summary of institutional responses to the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence; and a Submission to the Parliamentary Inquiry into the use of generative artificial intelligence in the Australian education system.

AAIN members are steadfast in their commitment to the promotion of academic integrity and fostering students’ academic integrity as an integral part of their learning journey. This commitment to the maintenance of academic integrity is critical to protecting the reputation of the Australian and New Zealand education sectors and the value of a higher education degree within the international arena.
