This study explores the use of generative AI, specifically Google's Bard and OpenAI's ChatGPT, to enhance qualitative research within higher education assessment, focusing on institutional assessment practitioners. Using a dataset focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from annual faculty assessment reports, we tested traditional…

The adoption of generative AI in educational process carries both potential advantages and risks hence there is a need for ethical principles to guide its adoption in education. A population of 443 TVET educators, including 325 male and 118 female, was selected for this study using a mixed research design from the seven TVET public institutions in…

Artificial intelligence-driven Chatbots, especially large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, represent significant progress in digital education. These models excel in mimicking human-like text and transforming learning and teaching methods. This study examines the development, application, and impact of LLMs in education. It highlights their role…

This article presents a brief overview of the state-of-the-art in large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and discusses the difficulties that these technologies create for educators with regard to assessment. Making use of the 'arms race' metaphor, this article argues that there are no simple solutions to the 'AI problem'. Rather, this author…

The academic landscape is evolving with the integration of generative AI technologies, creating a new era in teaching and learning processes. This study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within pedagogical strategies and policies at leading universities. It delves into how higher education institutions are amending and…

As the philosophy of music education further internationalizes with Asian philosophies in recent years, the problem of language is a crucial issue that can no longer be ignored. When mining ideas originally written in non-English languages, is it possible to truly know what was said or written? Is knowledge of the original language necessary? When…

This study examines the impact of AI, particularly ChatGPT, on academic integrity and assessment practices in higher education. As AI integration grows, concerns about its potential to undermine academic rigour and increase inequalities have surfaced. Through interviews with students and a lecturer, the research explores the benefits and…

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted medical education, causing a shift towards online learning. However, this transition posed challenges in administering online assessments, particularly in proctoring and detecting academic misconduct. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of academic misconduct among medical students during…

This paper explores the value in expanding existing compliance-focused approaches to research ethics, to one which facilitates researchers' ongoing ethical reflexivity. The authors explore the use of 'ethical trialogues' -- or technology-mediated reflective discussions -- between doctoral research students as a means of fostering deeper ethical…

Academic misconduct, including plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating, is a growing concern in Higher Education, particularly with the rise of online assessments. This study examines staff and student perceptions of outsourcing behaviours at a research-intensive UK university, exploring their prevalence, acceptability and influencing factors.…

Unbeknownst to many researchers, online surveys can be vulnerable to attacks from bots and generative artificial intelligence (AI), which can generate hundreds of fraudulent responses instantly. Confronting this challenge to data integrity, we employed an adaptive approach to test the effectiveness of various anti-fraud tactics (e.g., CAPTCHA;…

The study aimed to determine the impact of transformational leadership and integrity on the performance of a company. The research sample was 123 lecturers at As-Syafi'iyah Islamic University, Indonesia. The analysis model of this study was a path analysis. Observation and questionnaires were used to obtain the research data. Teaching…

Any problem is a problem until a solution is designed and implemented. This paper reports on a workshop that highlights preliminary work done by the working group on Gamification in the scope of European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI), which aims to explore the possibility of developing and testing a gamified learning module on academic…

The increasing number of non-Anglophone African graduate students in American universities has uncovered the need to explore their perceptions of academic integrity at their institutions. Violations of academic integrity negatively impact students and their host institutions. This qualitative study was conducted to understand the perceptions of…

The Georgian educational system was not familiar with the concept of plagiarism during the Soviet era. The purpose of the article is to study whether the mechanisms for plagiarism prevention in Georgian higher education institutions have been improved as a result of the application of new authorisation standards and international practices; it…
