Transform EDU Week Event 4: Contract Cheating – Valuing Teaching, Learning and Education
2021-11-25 14:00 - 15:30
Contract cheating represents a challenge to the academic integrity of the educational system. Although one single solution to contract cheating does not exist, the importance of an educative approach is recognised to ensure that students benefit from the learning opportunities offered to them.
This lead presentation for the Transform-EDU Project held during Valuing Ireland’s Teaching & Learning Week will review the characteristics of contract cheating, including how educators can recognise breaches. The presentation will also consider opportunities available for educators to mitigate the risks of students succumbing to contract cheating, including how this topic can be taught to students and how preventative measures can be put into place. Time will be available for questions and discussion.

Transform EDU Week Event 5: Developing Sustainability Literate Graduates – Adapting the UN Sulitest to Classroom and Aligning the Curriculum to the SDGs
2021-11-26 13:00 - 14:30
Universities have been mandated under SDG 4.7.1 to develop sustainability literature graduates. By sustainability literacy, we refer to the knowledge, skills, and mindsets that help compel an individual to become deeply committed to building a sustainable future (Décamps, 2017).
In this webinar we explore the transformative nature of education for sustainability and underpinning reflective pedagogy. We outline a whole-of-university approach to ensuring that it is embedded across the curricula.
We highlight approaches to measurement and evaluation and showcase the use of the UN’s sustainability literacy test or SULITEST www.sulitest.org with reflective practice in contextualising sustainability literacy across different disciplines.
