This Academic Integrity Digital Badge is a short course that introduces students to the concept of academic integrity and provides guidance on how to demonstrate academic integrity in their own work. The first 5 modules are the modules from the Epigeum Academic Integrity course for students. The final module, ‘Understanding Generative AI’, was developed by Atlantic Technological University (ATU) and Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT).
