Foundations of Academic Success: Innovative Mobile Learning to Enhance Academic Integrity

The Foundations for Academic Success project aspires to improve student engagement with academic material by exploring mobile learning to better resonate with the current student population.

Objectives are to develop strategies for enhancing student academic integrity (AI) knowledge and understanding by employing open access mobile technology with an innovative pedagogical approach.

Research will support the development, administration, and assessment of the Foundations for Academic Success academic integrity mobile learning (FAS) tool that explores best strategies, from a student user perspective, for accessing, delivering, assessing, and learning this information with mobile technology.

Academic integrity content in this mobile application extends beyond its utility to University of Waterloo students as the values it promotes apply provincially, nationally and internationally. Open-access mobile application has the potential to be adopted and used across many post-secondary colleges and universities.
