It is strongly recommended that students complete the module on a laptop or computer. The interactive elements do not work reliably in the eLearn app.

The purpose of the module:

• Provide a learning experience that ensures that CapU students are properly informed, have a working knowledge and are able to apply all relevant concepts regarding academic integrity to their work.
• Educate CapU students on their responsibilities regarding academic integrity and possible consequences for not adhering to their responsibilities.

In eLearn, there are two ways to see whether a student/s have completed the module: 

• For one student: After successfully completing all elements of the module (pass mark is 100% for each quiz), students will be awarded a badge. The badge will be displayed in the student’s eLearn profile
  
  
• For the whole class: On your eLearn course page, use the Course Completion Settings (see the gear at the top of the course page) to set the “Condition: Completion of other courses”.  Add “Academic Integrity” from the pulldown menu. Return to the main course page.  Go to Reports (click on the gear at the top of the course page, select “More”). Choose “Course Completion” to generate a list of students enrolled in your course.  A check mark under “Academic Integrity” indicates they have completed the Academic Integrity Learning module.
