The Teaching Enhancement Unit is currently participating in the INTEGRITY project, funded under the KA2 strand, and aimed at enhancing the quality of teaching and learning processes that are based on the principles of academic integrity, supported by policies, mechanisms and tools that help prevent and detect cases of plagiarism in higher education institutions in Georgia. INTEGRITY (Academic Integrity for Quality Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Institutions in Georgia) involves collaboration with colleagues in partner institutions in Ilia State University (Georgia), University of Roehampton (UK), Uppsala Universitet (Sweden) and Universitaet Wien (Austria) as well as a range of associated HEIs in Georgia. The aims of the project include, among others, the introduction of plagiarism prevention and detection electronic tools in Georgian HEIs, the design and launch of an information campaign in Georgian HEIs defining academic integrity and promoting best practice principles of academic integrity, as well as faculty development modules in the area of effective assessment, teaching and learning to promote academic integrity. 

Members of the TEU are currently preparing for a faculty development event, hosted by Universitaet Wien (Vienna) in February 2018, where they will deliver workshops on (1) the use of electronic tools to detect instances of plagiarism and (2) effective assessment design to promote academic integrity. Further outputs are planned related to this project including the development of a suite of resources and case studies to support faculty in designing assessments which actively encourage academic integrity.
