Two 黑料正能量 instructors co-presented at a recent international conference for community and technical college educators.
Math Instructors Laura Buddin and Katina Davis led a roundtable discussion on 鈥淎cademic Integrity in an Online Environment鈥� at the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development鈥檚 International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence in Austin, Texas.
The discussion revolved around what methods colleges employ to ensure academic rigor and honesty in a class that only meets online. Buddin and Davis talked about their department’s honor code and integrity statement that students must read and agree to prior to submitting graded work, and asked participants to share their policies.
In order to present at the conference, Buddin and Davis had to submit a proposal with proof that they had expertise and experience in the subject matter. Conference organizers reviewed the proposal for relevance and purpose before accepting it.
