Educating | How to use AIM in your course

The Academic Integrity Module (AIM) is embedded in Moodle, the key conduit for course materials at Federation University. Its three-part structure allows specific aspects of academic integrity to be explored more deeply and over a period. The structure offers the opportunity for teaching staff to link the relevant part of AIM directly to aspects of their curriculum, thereby assisting students to understand the relevance of AIM to their course content and assessment tasks. Integrating AIM as a necessary component of a student’s study and learning at Federation will increase students’ engagement levels. This approach aligns with current best practice of embedding academic literacies into the curriculum rather than locating them externally to the course content (Thies et al., 2014).
