Fidelity to scholarly practice: academic honesty and information literacy in the Faculty of Arts

Abstract

Fidelity to the principles and practice of academic practice is a guiding principle underpinning the development of the ArtsSmart suite of online tutorials. ArtsSmart uses educational technology in a creative way to meet a particular educational need - to deliver integrated and student-centred information literacy and academic honesty programs to a broad cohort of first year students from many disciplines across the Faculty of Arts. This fidelity to the development of scholarly practice is accompanied by fidelity to the principle of quality learning. From the start of the project the developers were conscious of the need to ensure that first year students at the University of Melbourne were offered a quality e-learning experience.The tutorial uses purpose built software that allows the program to be customised for diverse disciplines and modes of implementation. This software gives flexibility and also allows for sustainability. ArtsSmart is an online tutorial that supports first year Arts students in learning about, and practising the skills related to academic discourse.
