Academic Integrity Guide: Epigeum for Students

What is academic integrity? How do you show integrity in your preparation and work? At NCI we provide free access to this online course to help you understand just that.

What is Epigeum?

Epigeum is an online course provider. All NCI staff and students may access Epigeum's course on Academic Integrity (International, 2nd edition). This is a self-directed learning programme which is divided into 4 modules, each of which should take around 30 minutes to complete. You will receive a certificate after successfully completing this programme. 

 

What else do I need to know?

  • The training is free to all staff and students. There is no registration fee.
  • You do not have to “book in” to do the training on a particular date. Once registered on the Epigeum system you can complete the training in your own time.
  • A token is required to access the modules. This token will be sent to you.
  • Learning via the Epigeum Academic Integrity Training Programme is self-directed.
  • The programme consists of 4 modules, each of which should take around 30 minutes to complete. 
  • At the end of each module, there will be a short multiple choice quiz, each with 5 questions. You are required to pass this quiz with a score of at least 80%, but you may re-take the quiz as often as is necessary (the questions will change on re-taking the quiz). Each time you take the quiz, you are given 2 hours to complete it. 
  • For technical assistance, please contact the library, see the help page or contact the Epigeum customer support team directly via this webform.
