Student Belonging in Academia: Developing an Academic Integrity Course

In October 2022, Camosun College officially launched its self-registration, online academic integrity course for students. Developed by Camosun librarians, Patsy
Scott and Margie Clarke, the interactive course is designed to teach students about academic integrity and what it means to belong to the Camosun academic community. Integrating video scenarios, the course outlines student rights and responsibilities that this belonging entails. The course includes topics such as contract cheating, self-plagiarism, cultural differences and Indigenous ethical values. Upon successful course completion, students earn a digital badge. Registrations have topped 1,000 since its release.
