Last Thursday, the ACPUA attended this webinar where members of the ENQA working group on academic integrity shared the final outcomes of their work, exploring the role of quality assurance agencies in promoting and enhancing academic integrity. During the webinar, the highlights of the group’s report were presented, together with examples from ENQA members and recommendations for future action.
Speakers were representatives of ENQA member agencies, many of whom participated in the working group: Sue Hackett, formerly QQI (Ireland), Yvonne Overdevest, NVAO (the Netherlands), Andrea Zacharova, SAAHE (Slovakia), Kirsty Williams, RCVS (UK), Agnes Witzani and Ulrike Najar, AQ Austria (Austria) and Klemen Šubic, SQAA (Slovenia).
ENQA is the designated stakeholder organisation of quality assurance agencies in the EHEA and as such, the community of agencies drive innovation in quality assurance and refines quality assurance processes. One of the three main goals is driving the development of external quality assurance and it was with this over-arching goal in mind, that, in 2020, an Academic Integrity Working Group was established.
The working group invited all ENQA members to submit data and case examples, and the contributions have been collated and analysed. The ensuing report was presented here as a resource for the ENQA community and any other interested parties.
