Academic Integrity: Developing an Approach Students Can Own!

Abstract

At Penn State Altoona, undergraduate students consistently miss the mark with MLA in-text citations, Works Cited page citations, and articulating an understanding of the purpose of citing. A likely underlying cause is the impact of the decline of public school librarians over the last two decades. Current post-high school approaches to help remediate this issue, including collaborations between a librarian and a general education history instructor at Penn State Altoona, are explored. Their informal project to incorporate online academic integrity training modules in the Canvas learning management system is outlined with next-step measures.
