I thought those of us in tertiary education may want to put our two
cents in.

Call For Papers: Asia Pacific Conference on Educational Integrity 2007
<http://www.unisa.edu.au/educationalintegrity/conference/>  

The Asia-Pacific Conference on Educational Integrity: Creating a culture
of integrity will be held at the University of South Australia from 6-7
December 2007. 

While previous conferences have focussed on specific issues relating to
educational integrity such as plagiarism and values in teaching and
learning, the 2007 conference aims to examine the broader educational
context. Participants will be asked to consider the questions: 

Who is responsible for educational integrity? Is it students, educators,
administrators, senior managers or policy makers? 
How can a culture of integrity be created so that the current model of
'police action' is replaced by self-regulation and mutual respect? 

Themes will include: 

- policy changes and reform in education 
- commercialisation of education 
- internationalisation of education 
- ethics in research and publishing 
- issues of governance and managerialism 
- quality assurance and educational integrity 
- implications of the Research Quality Framework 
- issues in learning and teaching 

A pre-conference workshop will be held on 5 December 2007 to enable
Academic Integrity Officers (and their equivalent positions) from
Australian and international universities to network and share ideas on
best practice.

Authors are invited to submit the following types of papers to the
conference:

Full papers for double-blind review (see Submission Guidelines available
from conference call for papers webite:
http://www.unisa.edu.au/educationalintegrity/conference/papercall.asp).
Accepted papers will be published in the refereed stream of the
Conference Proceedings. 

Abstracts to be reviewed by the Conference Committee. Accepted Abstracts
will be published in the unrefereed stream of the Conference
Proceedings. 

Creative works (45 minute sessions)

Interactive workshops
- small interactive group workshops of around 12-20 participants
- 45 minutes total, with the speaker/facilitator using no more than 10
minutes to define the topic and context
- 35 minutes for discussion, interaction and input from the
participants.
- Suggestions for material:  current dilemmas, ideas in progress, vexing
issues and common problems relating to educational integrity.  

Other ideas
Presenters are invited to contribute ideas for other interactive
sessions.  This may be an electronic poster session, group presentation,
debate or 'dilemma' roundtable discussion (where presenters simply raise
a question or problem and ask participants to address it, using their
expertise and experience).
