Sub-theme 4 Core Values and Quality of Higher Education
Interactive session
Academic Integrity and ENQA quality assurance agencies: Where do we stand and where are we headed?
Integrity. An indisputable ethical code of academia and core INQAAHE value.
ENQA established a working group to research the role of QA agencies in supporting academic integrity and combatting fraud in higher education. The completed work resulted in thought-provoking findings and aimed to provide concrete guidance to agencies in order to help them take forward their work on this topic. A set of commonly agreed terminology and definitions was an area identified in the findings of the survey, and addressed in the ensuing WG report.
Join Sue Hackett and Yvonne Overdevest, QA professionals passionate about academic integrity, for a stimulating conversation session. A presentation about ENQA’s working group on academic integrity exploring the picture across Europe on the basis of a survey to ENQA members and affiliates will be followed by discussion. Participants will exchange perceptions and reflections on the roles of stakeholders with regard to academic integrity.
