Library: Academic Integrity Module (AIM) update
From: Pat Loria
Valid from: Monday 27 February 2023 to Monday 27 March 2023
With Welcome Week now happening, I thought it timely to update colleagues on the Academic Integrity Module (AIM). AIM is improving all the time, as the landscape changes and as we receive invaluable feedback from all our partners, from staff, from students, and across the sector. For example, we are developing a page on the ethical use of generative artificial intelligence models.
To date, Banner has automatically enrolled 8,985 commencing students into AIM 2023, contributing to the HESF requirements for information on and the maintenance of academic integrity. This year, as approved by Academic Senate Education Committee, commencing students will not be able to enrol in second term subjects until they have completed the AIM and associated quiz (AIM/Quiz = 1 hour). Commencing students will see a pop-up message during the enrolment process, letting them know of their enrolment in AIM 2023 (NOAW0004), and that they can access and complete AIM in vUWS.
Continuing students who are required to complete the Remedial AIM 2023 will be able to do so this year using an auto-registration link. All 2023 commencing students will have completed the AIM, so the Remedial AIM will become less pedagogically effective, as the content in the modules is identical. However, you will be able to refer at-risk students to the Library using a Library Student Intervention form, which will be available in WesternNow from next month, for referrals by university colleagues.
Let’s keep working together to empower students to succeed, with confidence and with integrity.
