2024 FACULTY Academic integrity matters (aim) tutorial + genai
CTLI wants to encourage all faculty to complete the 2024 Faculty Academic Integrity Matters Tutorial. This is an instructor learning resource designed to address the changing landscape of ethical behaviour in post-secondary education including suggestions for using Gen AI.
As students increasingly explore and experiment with artificial intelligence and assistive technology, educators should continue to expand their understanding about the growing landscape of academic integrity. 
This 90-minute tutorial offers faculty members a valuable tool to navigate the challenges posed by these advancements, providing practical strategies and insights to promote integrity and maintain high ethical standards in the classroom. It focuses on the importance of developing a culture of trust and respect with students in order to foster learning.
By engaging with this resource, faculty should be able to effectively navigate these complexities and foster a climate of fairness, cultural sensitivity, and ethical conduct within the academic community.
The module was designed and developed by Kim Pfeifer (CTLI) and Emma Courtney (CTLI) with feedback from Tony Trudel (Academic Integrity Chair) and Margaret Hearnden (past Academic Integrity Chair).

Teaching International Students: Academic Integrity
International students bring expectations of academic culture that are often not compatible with U.S. academic culture.
This video describes how academic integrity is viewed and enforced in countries represented by international students. It is meant to give faculty a nuanced understanding of the students’ expectations and cultural factors underlying their expectations, and learn how to clearly communicate your academic integrity policy so as to bridge the cultural gap between your teaching style, and the students’ expectations and experiences.
Encouraging Academic Integrity Through Intentional Assessment Design – Langara College
The production of this toolkit is part of a collaborative project between the Teaching and Curriculum Development Centre, the Centre for Intercultural Engagement, the Academic Integrity Committee, and Student Conduct and Judicial Affairs at Langara. The impetus for developing a toolkit focused on engaging the Langara community in encouraging academic integrity came from our community members looking for guidance and resources. This toolkit was developed to provide instructors with methods and examples of activities and assessments that can help students meet academic standards and expectations.
