This conference addresses the emerging issues of academic integrity, values and ethics in teaching, learning and research and will give an opportunity for participants to focus on fundamental principles of education in all sectors. Dr Gordon Barnhart (Canada) and Prof. Thomas Angelo (New Zealand), will be joined by a number of others to discuss honour codes, ethical dilemmas, quality teaching & assessment, education for citizenship & leadership, and teaching & learning technologies supporting educational integrity. The fascinating 3-parallel stream program will challenge educational institution managers, educators and education support staff.

University of Newcastle staff will receive a staff development grant from Human Resource funds of a 25% reduction in the early bird rate until registrations close, e.g. $259 for two days of conference 2-3 Dec.
