P15: Academic integrity communications: by students, for students

Dr Simone Lyons, Monica Bailey and Gail Heinrich, University of Canberra
This poster addresses the benefit of engaging students to develop and create student-focused academic integrity communications, based on recent experience at University of Canberra (UC). As part of UC’s Faculty of Arts and Design work integrated learning (WIL) program, student project teams developed communications resources aimed at building awareness of academic integrity among the wider student body. Following a broad brief provided by UC Study Skills and Student Conduct, Appeals and Grievances, the student teams worked with the Academic Integrity Officer in a client–consultant arrangement to produce the resources. The student teams each created and delivered a suite of resources suitable for digital and print communications, which UC’s Marketing and Media & Communications units subsequently helped to align with branding and style guidance. The result is a collection of student-created, student-focused communications about academic integrity that are engaging, informative and current. The resources are designed to help students understand academic integrity: what it is, why it’s important, how to practise it. While the WIL students learned about academic integrity in the process of developing these resources, they also created messaging that will be relatable and educative for other current students.
Discussion starters:
  • What is gained by involving students as partners in promoting academic integrity?
  • Which aspects of academic integrity, from a student perspective, need increased awareness and attention?
  • What institutional frameworks can support the development of student-created academic integrity communications?
