Project description

The Academic Integrity Process, driven by the re-introduction of Regulation 11, is a somewhat overwhelming 'beast' for students to navigate and we know that students are often reluctant to engage in non-credit bearing teaching and formative assessments. The intern will undertake pedagogic research with a focus on increasing accessibility and engagement with academic integrity and study skills content.

The objectives of the research are:

• To understand best practice in academic integrity and study skills education in the HE sector.
• To compare these findings with the Warwick and WMG approaches to academic integrity and study skills education.
• To investigate student preferences for the presentation, format and delivery of Academic integrity and study skills, both pre-enrolment and during their programme of study.
• To specify a student-focused, student-friendly suite of information for incoming and newly enrolled students to help them navigate academic integrity.

This suite of information should support, enhance and decipher the student-facing Academic Integrity Framework materials for WMG students (https://warwick.ac.uk/students/supportservices/academic_integrity)

Duties and responsibilities

The intern would be responsible for deciphering the existing Academic Integrity framework and study skills materials and delivering recommendations to facilitate the transfer into a more 'friendly' and accessible format.

This could facilitate the use of media such as videos of 'mock academic conduct panels', 'news articles', light touch non-subject specific guidance documents to promote engagement with academic integrity and study skills.
