Modules for staff Modules for students
Developed by Epigeum, with the late Professor Tracey Bretag (UniSA Business) as lead advisor, the Epigeum Academic Integrity Learning Modules (EAILM) ensure that both staff and students share a common understanding of the positive values of academic integrity and how to identify and demonstrate integrity in academic practice.
About the EAILM for staff at UniSA
The Epigeum Academic Integrity Learning Modules for Staff at UniSA are designed for anyone in higher education whose work supports teaching, learning and assessment. This includes policy makers, academic managers, course and unit coordinators, tutors, markers, and academic staff, such as academic developers, learning designers, and student learning advisors.
The learning modules are interactive and include a variety of optional questions to help build your own personal knowledge. You have the option to complete the additional quiz activities to obtain a certificate as evidence of your academic integrity knowledge. You will need to achieve a score of 100% on the quizzes, but there are unlimited attempts allowed.
All academic and professional staff are encouraged to undertake the five modules of the Epigeum Academic Integrity Learning Modules for Staff at UniSA program at their own pace.
The SEU’s Academic Integrity Module has been designed to help students understand UniSA's Academic Integrity Policy and associated Academic Integrity Procedure. We would encourage teaching staff to direct students to this site early in their study program.
The core learning material of the Epigeum Academic Integrity Learning Modules for Students at UniSA is hosted by the TIU and is available via learnonline. Staff can direct students to self-enrol via a Program or Course learnonline site. The associated quiz and achievement certificate for each module is separately hosted within a students' Program or Course learnonline site. Completion of the quizzes can be formative or can form part of summative assessments.
There are five modules. The first three illustrate the key principles and behaviours of academic integrity, and help students incorporate best practices in their work. Modules four and five explore more complex scenarios and offer practical advice.
