Academic Integrity Awards

A major strategy of the Asia Pacific Forum on Educational Integrity (APFEI) is to promote the highest standards of integrity in education. A key to this is the development and dissemination of high quality, innovative teaching and learning materials, and research on academic integrity. In order to encourage continued development and to ensure the dissemination of excellent resources, the APFEI has established two new awards which acknowledge outstanding work.

Best Original Academic Integrity Resource Award

For this category, nominations should come from an individual or team who has created a resource such as, but not limited to, the following:

• Higher education website explaining plagiarism and how to avoid it
• School website for primary or secondary students
• Library guide to ethical research practices
• Learning materials from language and academic skills advisers
• Teaching materials at all levels of education

Criteria

The resource must be:

• In electronic format
• In English
• Innovative in its format
• Clearly targeted at its audience
• Dealing with an important issue of educational integrity
• Original in the way it deals with this issue

Best Annotated Bibliography of Online Academic Integrity Resources

For this category, applicants were invited to compile a comprehensive annotated bibliography of online resources relating to academic/educational integrity. The bibliography should provide the full reference for each resource, including URL, plus a short description (e.g. two sentences) of that resource. It is expected that the bibliography will entail a minimum of 10 entries. All resources in the bibliography need to be in electronic format and in English. It is a condition of entry that all annotated resources be made available to be published on the APFEI website (with appropriate acknowledgement to the author).

The prizes

The recipients receive a plaque and a grant to cover the cost of registration for the 3rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Educational Integrity. Where a team has created the Academic Integrity Resource, up to two registrations will be provided. One registration will be provided for the winner of the Annotated Bibliography Award. The award winners will also be named on the APFEI website and will have the right to label the award winning resource accordingly.

Presentation

The awards were presented at the 3rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Educational Integrity to be held at the University of South Australia, 6-7 December 2007.

The Winner of the Inaugural Best Original Academic Integrity Resource Award went to Jenny Marshall and Emmanual Manalo from Auckland University. Check out their AI resources at: http://www.cite.auckland.ac.nz/
