International Day of Action for academic integrity
Wednesday 16 October is International Day of Action for Academic Integrity. To recognise the shared responsibility of academic integrity, TEQSA has released Key considerations: Academic integrity and generative AI.
This one-page document outlines key considerations of process, people and practice for every institution to keep in mind when considering academic integrity. It’s available on our website in a printable A4 format.
The International Day of Action for Academic Integrity is organised by the International Centre for Academic Integrity and this year’s theme is All hands on deck: Making academic integrity everyone’s job.
Academic integrity is fundamental to the reputation and credibility of Australia’s higher education sector. TEQSA is working to support the higher education sector in addressing the threats posed by contract cheating services and generative artificial intelligence (gen AI).
In November we will launch a new toolkit, Gen AI strategies for Australian higher education: Emerging practice. This toolkit is informed by TEQSA’s Request for Information: Addressing the risk of generative artificial intelligence, which was issued to the sector in June 2024.
The toolkit will showcase practical actions providers are putting in place for the short and medium-term horizons to ensure students are learning the skills and qualifications reflected by their qualifications and also graduate knowing how to ethically and effectively use gen AI.
