Facing Academic Integrity Threats

The Facing Academic Threats Project (FAITH) focuses on improving national and institutional policies for academic integrity in higher education. Through a review of educational sources globally, we will draw on best practice to create benchmarks for academic integrity standards, policies and approaches, tuned for use in partner countries. Using well-tested questionnaires and focus groups, we will capture factors that influence student conduct. Working internationally, we will collate ideas for best practices on strategies relating to plagiarism and contract cheating. By examining all available evidence, we will formulate a holistic approach for deterring plagiarism and contract cheating. Results will be disseminated within partner countries and beyond through conferences, workshops and scientific papers. Training materials will be developed from the results for guiding managers, teachers and students in higher education. Online courses and face-to-face workshops will be developed and delivered, translated into languages of participating organisations. Course completion certificates will be issued to participants. We will also develop an online platform to provide practical advice and guidance to all victims who seek support.
