Academic integrity in assessment important from the perspective of validity of assessment conclusions.\u00a0 Even more critical is the expectation that all those involved in academia behave in decent, honest, and ethical ways.\u00a0 The shift to online education places additional strains on academic integrity, but there are approaches to address this.<\/p>\n
To start, the six fundamental values of academic integrity (from the International Center for Academic Integrity, ICAI) are briefly described.\u00a0 These apply not only to students, but also to faculty, administrators, and institutions.<\/p>\n
This section summarizes academic misconduct by the numbers reported in the literature to address just how significant an issue academic misconduct is.\u00a0 Also discussed is what the literature reports in terms of student perceptions of academic misconduct.<\/p>\n
