Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
The shift to online courses during the global COVID-19 pandemic highlighted that teaching and learning online is an evolving practice for both students and educators.

Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
Post-secondary faculty are experiencing a rise in instances of plagiarism in student assignments and are looking for resources to help with both the reduction and the detection of plagiarism.

Alternatively, we explored a method that considers international students’ role in maintaining their academic integrity and places emphasis on student learning, curricular modifications, and good citizenship. We conducted a collaborative year-long pilot project with international business students in the implementation …

A growing body of research has connected higher rates of plagiarism, in western universities during this time period, to international students in particular. This article reviews the current literature in this area, with a focus on the most common factors that put international students in western universities at a …
Fostering The Academic Transition Of International Students Who Are Ethnoculturally And Linguistically Diverse In Postsecondary Education, Kacia Whilby
Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
The need for more services and support for international students’ academic transition is evident as their numbers continue to increase in postsecondary institutions. There is also a need for educational leaders to have a better understanding of how they can support international students’ academic transition and success. A phenomenological research design is being used to problematize academic transition by examining the experiences of international students who are ethnoculturally and linguistically diverse. The focus is on the students from cultural and educational backgrounds that are divergent to the Canadian educational system and their adjustment to postsecondary academic writing and teaching strategies. …
