Our very own @uclansu_edu and @HarryVpe will be holding a session! #QAA2021

Wonderful to be part of #QAA2021 alongside Gráinne Mooney QQI and Academic Integrity Collective #BetterByU @uclansu_edu @HarryVpe discussing the importance of 'Engaging Students in Academic Integrity'. Many thanks to QAA for the invitation to be part of this important conversation.

Predictably fantastic presentation from the ever brilliant @uclansu_edu & @HarryVpe on their #BetterBYU campaign (Academic Integrity Collective #BetterByU) around Academic Integrity and Essay Mills at our QAA Student Strategic Advisory Committee today👏 ✨student-led campaigns > everything else✨

We are delighted to announce the appointment of @Vicki__Stott as our next Chief Executive. Vicki currently serves as QAA’s Executive Director of Operations and Deputy CEO, and will succeed Douglas Blackstock, who is due to step down in the autumn. More info: qaa.ac.uk/news-events/ne…

Are we focusing enough on positive language when writing research papers in the #academicintegrity field? Find out more about the language used across over 100 years of research in my new paper in the Journal of Academic Ethics, available #openaccess link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Higher education's willingness to experiment and innovate has been a positive of the past year. Bryan Alexander @GeorgeTown #highereducation #INQAAHEConference2021

We need to keep this on the topic on the agenda! Contract cheating services cannot continue to take advantage of students without legislative consequences.

Guess who’s back with a friendly reminder to educational institutes that they must embed tangible support and opportunities for #freshers to understand academic integrity and work on their academic confidence from before they even start at the institution?…It’s us. #University

The QAA campaign against essay mills has been consistent, persistent, vocal and inclusive of cross-sector partners, academics, students and media (UK-wide and internationally) for nigh on 5 years. Great news today from DfE on plans to legislate.

Was really pleased to see the announcement earlier this week that the government intends to legislate to #BanEssayMills This is the kind of thing the new law will be aiming to tackle: Essay corruption on an industrial scale wonkhe.com/blogs/cheats-r… via Wonkhe

A must read for anyone concerned about essay mills. The Financial Times investigate three with some interesting results which they discuss with QAA's Gareth Crossman #academicintegrity

We love this!!! Now this is what we call partnership!!!

Just to point out - if universities had a minimum grade cap for entry when I was applying for uni - then I wouldn’t have been able to push for essay mill legislation because I wouldn’t have been an SU officer as I WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN AT UNIVERSITY. #WideningParticipationMatters
