RRC Polytech staff publish book about Academic Integrity
A new book, offering insights from the vocational and polytechnic sector to supporting academic integrity in a changing academic landscape, was launched on October 15 during an event at RRC Polytech’s Notre Dame Campus.
Academic Integrity in Vocational and Polytechnic Education includes 17 chapters written by 34 contributors from Canada and Australia – including four staff from RRC Polytech. Contributors represent faculty, support staff, and educational leaders working in vocational and polytechnic institutions. The book is the first edited volume focused on academic integrity in applied, technical, and trades-based post-secondary education.
The event included a panel discussion moderated by academic support specialist Jackie Jordaan, featuring co-editors Lisa Vogt (Instructor, Construction Management at RRC Polytech) and Brenda Stoesz (University of Manitoba). The panel addressed approaches to promoting academic integrity in vocational and polytechnic contexts.
RRC Polytech contributors Emilie Jackson, Chris Urbanski, and Christine Gray (represented by co-author Lisa Vogt) presented highlights from their chapters. Topics included culturally responsive learning strategies, exploratory meetings in architectural technology, and duty of care in automotive education.
Refreshments were provided by the Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning at the University of Manitoba and RRC Polytech’s Civil Engineering Technology Department.
The book is available as an eBook or Hardcover, and is part of a series called Ethics and Integrity in Educational Contexts.
