Update: Deadline for proposals extended to July 15, 2022

The nature of online learning is changing rapidly, necessitating agility and creativity among educators who strive to ensure academic integrity in their courses and programs. While the principles of academic integrity remain the same across modalities, the way that these principles are enacted vary according to delivery modes, learning technologies, disciplinary pedagogies and standards, and institutional contexts.

This call is intended to identify chapters for an edited book that will elucidate diverse perspectives and ways of promoting academic integrity in post-secondary online learning courses and programs. This book offers both scholarly and pedagogical examinations and discussions of transformative approaches to academic integrity in online learning, and submissions are welcomed from higher education professionals, practitioners, and scholars. We welcome a variety of contributions from case studies to preferred practices, historical inquiries, empirical studies, literature reviews, and conceptual papers. Chapters will include substantive references to credible sources.

Potential Topics:

Pedagogy and Course Design: Chapters on this topic explore course design strategies, frameworks, and pedagogies that improve academic integrity and reduce academic misconduct in online courses and programs.

Ethical and Moral Problems: Chapters on this topic address the moral and ethical problems of academic integrity in online learning, presenting novel solutions or considerations to ameliorate these problems in online courses and programs.

Use of Learning Technologies: Chapters on this topic investigate the selection, adoption, and use of learning technologies to promote academic integrity in online learning, such as the use of proctoring software and plagiarism-checking tools.

Community-building: Chapters on this topic focus the use of community-building, networking, and shared inquiry to promote academic integrity in online learning.

Academic Integrity Literacy: Chapters on this topic discuss approaches or strategies for increasing students’ understanding of academic integrity in online learning environments in diverse institutional contexts, including departmental and disciplinary norms and expectations.

Note that chapters with excessive self-citations will not be favourably received. Decisions on chapter proposals will be made by September 1, 2022 (or before) and sent to the primary contributor as indicated on the proposal submission form. Accepted chapter proposals will be used to develop the full book proposal and contributors will be notified about deadlines for full chapter submissions upon acceptance of the book proposal. Full chapters are to be 5000-8000 words, including abstract, keywords, and references (APA, 7th ed.). Chapter drafts will undergo rigorous peer review. Deadline for full chapters will be mid-2023, with an exact deadline to be confirmed once the book proposal has been approved by the publisher.
