HEFCW-funded Welsh Integrity and Assessment Network: Symposium Event 2023

Friday 9 June, 09.30 – 14:00 BST, (Online)

In partnership with the HEFCW-funded Welsh Integrity and Assessment Network, QAA is hosting an Academic Integrity Symposium Event on Friday 9 June from 9.30-14.00 (BST). The event is funded by HEFCW.

In August 2021, Wales was the first UK nation to have full commitment to the QAA Academic Integrity Charter. In September 2021, through grant arrangements with HEFCW, the Welsh Integrity and Assessment Network (WIAN) was established to build on this commitment. The Network is chaired by Professor Michael Draper (Swansea University) and Dr Mike Reddy (University of South Wales) who are also members of the UK Academic Integrity Advisory Group. The Network is representative of staff and students from all regulated higher education providers in Wales, which includes the nine universities and two further education colleges, and NUS Wales. The Network is committed to promoting academic integrity, combating academic misconduct, and promoting authentic and inclusive assessment practice.

The upcoming symposium event will be grounded in these themes and have a focus on the growing interest in artificial intelligence tools and the potential opportunities and challenges for assessment.

The Symposium is accepting proposals for the event until 17 April at 12.00.

This event will be of interest to:

• Academic staff
• Professional services staff
• Student representatives
• Student representative bodies, including student advice/student support teams
• Other staff and students with an interest in assessment and academic integrity.
