It has been a great year to talk about Academic Integrity – I’ve had the pleasure to visit a number of universities and present workshops on the game.
These workshops have included
The American Accounting Association Conference on Teaching and Learning
The University of South Australia Business School
The University of Sydney Business School
La Trobe University’s Teaching and Learning Week
And the ATN (Australian Technology Network) Authentic Assessment Symposium hosted by UTS
I was recently asked to blog about the AIBG for the University of Sussex Business School teaching blog – you can find the post here
Recently I had the opportunity to present to the Australian University regulators (TEQSA) and others involved in the higher education industry in Australia about the AIBG.
Here is the full video of my presentation
The game is a simplified version of Snakes and Ladders where students work in pairs to answer Questions Cards about academic integrity. Correct responses allows teams to move forward on the game board. Students also have the potential to experience what happens if you engage in academic misconduct through Scenario Cards where a spinner leaves their academic fate to chance. Where the spinner indicates you’ve engaged in misconduct, you’ll have a longer path to complete the game and reach the Graduation point.

On Monday 12 November I had the honour of talking about the AIBG at the UTS T&L Forum, presenting with my student partners and co-creators Tyler Key and Emma Gogolewski

The Academic Integrity Board Game (AIBG) has secured funding via the UTS LX (Learner Experience) grants to build the database to house questions, scenarios and games created by users!
