BCCIE Summer Seminar 2016

Academic integrity is a hot topic within education, particularly in relation to international students who may have differing 'norms' of misconduct. This session will present evaluation results from two cohorts of Internationally Educated Nurses (IEN) who completed a values-based Academic Integrity MOOC as part of a first year course. Findings indicate that students increased their understanding of the meaning of academic dishonesty and misconduct, and further developed their study and writing skills. Importantly, students also reported an increased understanding of the six values (honesty, respect, trust, fairness, responsibility, courage) included in the course and identified as important in academic integrity.
