Dr. Julianne East explores effective strategies for promoting academic integrity within universities by aligning policies with teaching practices. This approach emphasizes collective responsibility across the institution and encourages the transition from academic misconduct to a culture of integrity. Through the implementation of the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) and Academic Referencing Tool (ART), students' awareness and understanding of integrity principles are enhanced, leading to a more ethical academic environment. The initiative aims to reduce plagiarism and strengthen students' capacity to navigate academic expectations.

Has completing the AIM contributed to your understanding of academic integrity and how to apply this in your university work? 294 students 29 neutral: Same 28 negative: It didn't really help, it is the referencing modules/ lib guides that are the greatest resource in terms of referencing and trying not to breach any academic integrity modules Not really. It simply resembles an assignment which one might receive. It gets completed and then you move on 237 positive: Im less likely to accidentally plagiarise now. that makes me happy. see: :-). It's made me aware of how the system works at La Trobe which has put my mind at ease. I now know where I stand, what I can and cannot do and exactly what will happen if I am to break the rules so it's been useful. Julianne East
