Incremental Innovation of Policy and
Practice
• Most of the issues around academic Integrity are well understood
• Two-way approaches emerge: prevention and penalties
• Prevention: Clear communication to students and staff, introductory courses to raise
awareness and train students in academic practice (compulsory?), designing
plagiarism out of assessment, authentic and personalised, technology to prevent
• Penalties: international and national frameworks and definitions, national legislation,
innovation in technology to detect of plagiarism, agreed approaches to investigate
suspected misconduct, wholistic approaches to penalties at institutional levels
• Institutions are on the case, developing and innovating incrementally, proactive and
reactive to internal and external conditions
