Introduction
In 2020, TEQSA launched the first edition of our Academic Integrity Toolkit to share research and assist integrity professionals to promote academic integrity and address commercial academic cheating at their institution.
Academic integrity is integral to preserving the reputation of Australia’s higher education sector and protecting student interests.
TEQSA’s updated Academic Integrity Toolkit responds to new and emerging risks posed to academic integrity. In recent years, readily available and rapidly developing generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) tools have emerged. TEQSA has also observed changes in the promotion and marketing approaches used by commercial academic cheating services. The revised edition builds on the existing toolkit’s sections on policy and benchmarking and contract cheating. It offers new resources on assessment design and security, and risks to academic integrity from gen AI.
This initiative was funded by the Australian Government and the toolkit can be accessed free of charge.
