Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are constantly being released into the public domain. As with all new technological innovations, this brings a range of opportunities and challenges for education: primarily for educators and learners. There is an increasing interest in the academic community and beyond to use Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) to generate content. This presents opportunities and challenges for academic and research integrity.The European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI) is an international association gathering educational institutions and individuals interested in maintaining and promoting academic integrity. As the use of AI tools may not always be consistent with academic integrity, we consider it important to familiarise all education stakeholders with how to use AI tools responsibly and in accordance with academic integrity practices and values.ENAI presents a set of recommendations with the aim of supporting academics, researchers and other educational stakeholders, including students' organisations, on the ethical use of AI tools. The recommendations focus on the importance of equipping stakeholders with the skills and knowledge to use AI tools ethically and the need to develop and implement relevant educational policies addressing the opportunities and challenges posed by AIED. ProcessTo create these recommendations, we used our experience and knowledge, both about AI, and academic integrity. The authors collectively drafted the main structure and main ideas of the recommendation. The draft was circulated to the ENAI working group members, most of whom provided valuable comments and suggestions. Then the authors incorporated the comments and prepared the final wording of the document.The field of artificial intelligence is advancing fast, and the ways that it disrupts education are changing from one week to the next. We consider these recommendations as a working document, and we invite everyone to provide feedback. There will be a special session at the European Conference on Ethics and Integrity in Academia 2023 in Derby, UK, dedicated to this document.
Any problem is a problem until a solution is designed and implemented. This paper reports on a workshop that highlights preliminary work done by the working group on Gamification in the scope of European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI), which aims to explore the possibility of developing and testing a gamified learning module on academic integrity values. In this paper, the group aims to look at proposing steps we are currently using to develop storyboards of scenarios for the first phase of the project, which were presented at the 6th International Conference Plagiarism Across Europe and Beyond 2020 held virtually in Dubai as a workshop. The study also presents updated findings and scenarios drawn from the workshop conducted and audience feedback, in the following sections that pave the way for the future stages of the gamification process. This serves as a guide to academics and researchers in academic integrity who may wish to study gamification and apply it to develop their own modules for their learning modules.
More often than not, academic integrity as a discipline is defined by stating what it is not. Instead of focusing on what we want our students to do, we tell them that they should not cheat, plagiarize, collude, falsify or fabricate data, or engage in contract cheating. When defined in this way, academic integrity focuses on corrections of students’ behaviour, detection, and punishment, still generally managing to avoid explaining to students what we want them to do instead. Academic integrity can – and should – be defined in other ways, as a set of positive values or an agreement with ethical and professional principles, standards and practices that involve the whole institution. Such a change in the definition inevitably changes our teaching of academic integrity: instead of correcting students’ behaviour, different methods of the preventive and pedagogical promotion of academic integrity can be explored. One of them is an integration of academic integrity across the curriculum thus permeating all higher education. In order to achieve that, educational measures should not only be aimed at students, but to their teachers as well. In this paper a structure of an academic integrity teacher training workshop is presented with a focus on the integration of academic integrity in curriculum through constructive alignment and the examples of different preventive pedagogical practices.
Students and researchers might have diverse ideas about and motivations for citizen science (CS) projects. To prevent uncertainty, we address ethical concerns emerging in CS projects and in CS in general, specifically, the transferability of the ethical skills and knowledge gained within academia (e.g. through studying and research conduct). We dedicate these Guidelines for Research Ethics and Research Integrity in Citizen Science primarily to Masters and Doctoral students and their supervisors, to facilitate CS-related research activities (i.e. mainstream CS) in line with the values of academic integrity. Using a pool of 85 papers, we identified nine topics covering 22 customised guidelines and supplemented them with further readings to build more in-depth knowledge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
