Academic Integrity Guide: Epigeum for Staff

Epigeum is the leading provider of exceptional online courses designed to help universities and colleges transform their core activities – in teaching, research, studying and leadership and management. All NCI staff and students may access Epigeum's courses on Academic Integrity (International, 2nd edition). These constitute self-directed learning programmes with separate modules for staff and students, with certificate of completion. 

Epigeum's academic integrity programme is for all members of NCI's academic community, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, and teaching, educational development and professional administrative staff.

The Epigeum course includes a robust certification framework based on key learner outcomes. The assessment is delivered using randomly selected questions to ensure learners can demonstrate knowledge across the breadth of the course before being awarded a certificate of course completion.  All NCI faculty are requested to undertake this training.

• The programme consists of 4 modules, each of which should take around 30 minutes to complete.
