Abstract

Scenario-based academic integrity videos previously developed by the authors have been updated to address changes in technology and on-line resources, expand the application to more general STEM courses, and include new scenarios. Student understanding of academic integrity expectations before and after watching the video was assessed, and initial results indicate that students’ understanding of what behaviors are allowed and disallowed changes dramatically with regard to several particularly problematic behaviors.
