Connecting Academic Integrity and Quality Assurance


In this session, we will discuss several quality assurance tools used in Canadian universities and colleges and explore opportunities to leverage them to support academic integrity. Opportunities within cyclical program review, curriculum mapping and educational development, among others, are discussed to highlight opportunities for academic integrity specialists, quality assurance staff, faculty and policy makers to raise academic integrity awareness and weave best practices across an institution.
