Academic integrity is a hot button issue. At a time when it appears that breaches of integrity are more common, there is a shift within the sector asking academics to see integrity as an educative, rather than a punitive matter.

The results reveal that the majority of respondents are making the shift from punishing to educating students about the importance of how knowledge is constructed.
