Canadian Symposium on Academic Integrity 2023

Welcome!

Welcome to the Canadian Symposium on Academic Integrity (CSAI) 2023

The Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning at the University of Manitoba welcomes you to the 3rd biannual CSAI!

Founded in 2019, CSAI brings together the community of experts, leaders, and champions of academic integrity in higher education. This community consists of a diverse group of people including post-secondary educators, librarians, student advocates, students, as well as administrators, and sponsors.

CSAI Bi-Annual Conference is Canada’s leading conference dedicated to creating cultures of academic integrity, promoting the values of honesty, trust, responsibility, fairness, respect, and courage, and elevating the quality of teaching and learning across post-secondary education. CSAI 2023 will provide many opportunities to engage with academic integrity champions from across Canada and internationally and to gain new insights into other key issues that intersect with academic integrity.

Well-known keynote speakers will share their knowledge and wisdom during the conference program. Additional program highlights include dynamic discussions, interactive workshops, and scholarly presentations. This year’s symposium centres on the theme of Looking to the Future of Academic Integrity.

The theme of this conference is Looking to the Future of Academic Integrity. Given this theme, we invite you to share work related, but not limited, to the following broad areas:

  • Institution-wide approaches to academic integrity, including topics related to the importance of fostering cultures of academic integrity, promotion of academic integrity to students and academic staff, and policies and procedures.
  • Faculty support for academic integrity, including topics related to teaching experiences around academic integrity, structuring courses and curricula to support academic integrity, and conversations about academic misconduct with students.
  • Student support for academic integrity, including topics related to what instructors should know about how and why students do and do not cheat, the value of libraries as a student resource, and issues that students from abroad face on our campuses.

We also encourage proposals that explore the intersections between academic integrity and equity, diversity, and inclusion. CSAI 2023 will provide a dynamic environment for ongoing discussion about the future of academic integrity in higher education.
