Celebrating the Release of the Open Education Resource Unveiling Academic Integrity: Case Studies of Real-World Academic Misconduct
Join us for an event celebrating the release of the new Open Educational Resource (OER) , written by ¶ˇĎăÔ°AV Education students and edited by Faculty of Education Senior Lecturer Joel Heng Hartse. Past and present students of EDUC 388, Perspectives on Academic Integrity, present real cases of academic misconduct and the decisions made by the stakeholders involved.
In the 21st century, issues relating to academic integrity have become a passionate concern of educators, administrators, parents, and students, especially in the era of online learning and the sudden appearance of ChatGPT. Scandals abound, and reports that cheating is on the rise at every level are rampant. How are we supposed to teach in this environment? Unveiling Academic Integrity can help. Designed from an educator's viewpoint, this OER encourages readers to consider how various educational stakeholders—including administrators, principals, and teachers—should respond to challenging situations involving academic integrity. We use real cases of academic misconduct drawn from publicly available sources such as media reports, legal proceedings, and personal accounts. Rather than simply teaching the "rules" of academic integrity, the book promotes a deeper exploration of theory, research, and practice and encourages readers to think critically about complex ethical situations.

Transforming Trauma through Social Change: A Guide for Educators
Dr. Theresa Southam’s book Transforming Trauma through Social Change – A Guide for Educators travels the arc of trauma recovery. In this talk, we’ll learn that social change is the glue that holds trauma recovery together, leading to positive social change. Theresa will delve into how the five phases of transformative learning—life crises, disorienting dilemmas, critical reflection, dialogue, and taking action—can be brought to life in a course by involving students in social movements. Developed by Mezirow (1978) and applied in hundreds of educational settings, this learning process can transform traumatic histories into narratives of resilience and hope. The talk will end with excerpts from the five case studies in the book: stories of Sinixt Elder Virgil Seymour, environmental activist Briony Penn, immigrant student Gaganjeet Singh, the counter culturists of the Slocan Valley, and Lee Reid of Granny Gardening Tours.
