Our T&L enhancement manager Laura Lee works with teaching grant holders around recruitment processes, setting up codes, navigating ethics, procurement, budgets, reporting. These grants are a really great way to get experience as a PI. Laura very much puts the R in CIRTL.

The taxonomy explores student actions such as not acting on feedback, improper citation, deliberate use of GenAI or similar in assignments, locating these on a gradient of academic impropriety. Take this short course to ensure this topic is touched on in your teaching www.ucc.ie/en/cirtl/pro...

Two triangles containing examples of intellectual virtues and intellectual vices as well as actions that demonstrate these virtues or vices.

CIRTL @cirtl.bsky.social · Dec 7

Cutting through the jargon, this paper by Katy Dineen & @lorettag.bsky.social on ‘virtues and vices in academic integrity’ provides a useful taxonomy to better understand academic integrity and the actions that contravene it. #GenAI #highereducation www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.... #eduSky
