INQAAHE Talks - Academic Integrity: Safeguarding Trust in Higher Education
Channel: INQAAHE
Date: 2023-03-30

Developments in IT are bringing new challenges to academic integrity, ranging from the proliferation of online academic writing services to innovations in AI such as ChatGPT, as well as increasingly sophisticated diploma mills and certification frauds. Threats to academic integrity if left unaddressed risk to undermine confidence in the value of higher education qualifications with serious consequences for our globally interconnected communities.

This INQAAHE Talk will explore today’s growing challenges to Academic Integrity from different perspectives:
- Helen Gniel, Director HE Integrity Unit at the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), and Mairéad Boland, Senior Manager, Academic Integrity Regulation and Strategic Partnerships, Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI), will offer the perspective of two quality assurance bodies that have been leading on developing national and international responses to contract cheating, including the recently established Global Academic Integrity Network (GAIN).
- Salim Razi, Associate Professor in the English Language Teaching Department of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Turkey, will offer an institutional perspective as well that of the European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI) of which he is a founding board member. 
- Chris Lyons, Head of External Engagement at UK ENIC and Chair for The Association for International Credential Evaluation Professional (TAICEP) Committee for Standards and Quality, will bring the credential evaluators’ perspective.

The session will be moderated by Fabrizio Trifiro, INQAAHE Board Director.
