Revised Academic Integrity Toolkit now available

TEQSA’s Academic Integrity Toolkit has been revised, offering new sections on assessment design and security, and risks to academic integrity from generative artificial intelligence (gen AI), as well as updated resources on policy and benchmarking and contract cheating.

The updated toolkit responds to new and emerging risks to academic integrity, including the emergence of gen AI and changed marketing and promotional strategies used by commercial academic cheating services. It seeks to support providers to promote academic integrity and manage the risks of academic misconduct at their institution.

The revised toolkit incorporates numerous updated and new resources, and will be released in two stages:

Stage 1 – now available

Includes an updated structure, with two new sections (Assessment design and security and Risks to academic integrity from gen AI) and a short video overview for each section.

Stage 2 – available soon

Includes an updated Good Practice Note, along with guides related to substantiating contract cheating, promoting academic integrity and international students and perspectives of academic integrity.

The staged release will allow you to access the case studies and view the new structure sooner, while we work to prepare the guides and updated Good Practice Note for publication.

The project team which delivered the toolkit’s update was led by Associate Professor Guy Curtis (University of Western Australia). Thank you to the project team for their work.
