RAISE: Raising academic integrity standards in education…

This new service offers professionals in higher education a method of ensuring that students understand the importance of academic honesty. It is used easily during orientations, from a distance as a pre-semester reading assignment, and in classes early in the first semester as a part of new student transition classes. New students learn about what is expected of them academically.

Training topics include:

collaboration
technology
plagiarism, copyright and citation
four tips for decision making

Prepare students to handle dilemmas and make effective decisions around the issue of academic integrity. This system uses on- line- modules and exams that can easily be used by academic advisors, faculty, as well as by both domestic and international students.
