Week 4: Exploring the wider context

 1. Legislation

In this first video, I discuss the issue of ‘academic integrity’  (Gray, Waycott, Clerehan, Hamilton, Richardson, Sheard & Thompson, 2010; Kimber & Wyatt-Smith, 2010; Richardson, Hamilton, Gray, Waycott & Clerehan 2012) and copyright issues. In my own practice I use online videos to teach students about referencing sources and using images and when assessing student projects I use rubrics which include a reference to citations (Cowie & Sakui, 2015; 2016).

I briefly refer to Dublin City University’s INTEGRITY project as an example of an innovative way to approach issues of plagiarism and privacy.

2. Policies

In the second video, I  describe how I have tried to use digital technology to implement one of Japan’s Ministry of Education’s  16 higher education policies. This concerns the Internationalization of Japanese Universities and in particular Global Human Resource Development.
