Master Class Program in Academic Integrity
Innovative Research Universities of Australia
Visit from Charmian Eckersley 16 – 22 March
Academic integrity has become increasingly important in Australian universities. Murdoch University
has seized the opportunity of the IRU Australia Master Class Program to address and encourage honesty
in assessment, discourage plagiarism and collusion and promote high standards of behaviour that protect
intellectual capital and the standing of universities.
The Master Class Program aims to showcase the best learning and teaching expertise across the IRU
Australia universities. As part of this program, Murdoch University has invited Charmian
Eckersley of the University of Newcastle to share experiences of her university and to help us
explore academic integrity and how it might best be promoted in a holistic manner across Murdoch
University.
There are three key events: Master Class, Divisional
meetings, HERDSA event.
