Further Academic Skills: Game Design Project on Academic Integrity

This project presents the design of a game aimed at teaching students about academic integrity and enhancing their skills. The game involves students rewriting essays in their own words, with real-time feedback provided on the screen to highlight instances of plagiarism. The game awards points for original writing and deducts points for copied content, promoting understanding of academic honesty. The project explains the importance of academic integrity in universities, emphasizing its role in fostering innovation and building student confidence. It also details the skills developed through the game design process, including critical thinking, communication, and decision-making. The project includes a list of references supporting the concepts of game design and academic integrity.

Instructions for playing the game
This game is first played by students. In this game,
one essay should be given to the students. They should write it in
own words. First of all in that students needs to read the whole
essay then should write it in own words. This will be conducted on
the screen. Students are given time and they should write that
essay or topic in their language. This will helps them in
understanding topic carefully and develop their skills. This can be
played by one person at a time on one screen. This is somewhat
type a test to a students. As students write one line then screen will
show it in green line as this line is right and if students write same
as mentioned paragraph then there could be red line shown on that.
Then students needs to correct that accordingly. This game will at
last provides points to every green line and there is a deduction in
every red line. Then person who receives more points will be a
winner in the end
BMP3003 Further Academic Skills
An explanation of why academic
integrity at University is so important
Academic integrity is most important for every
university as it innovate new ideas and innovations (
Mora, 2020). As university needs to be honest and
trustworthy in its standards of course and
assessments. This is done because students who are
graduating and post graduating from the university
will get confidence in them. They could develop
certain knowledge and skills in them which will
helps them in their future in getting job. That is why
universities take issues and problems related with
misconduct and plagiarism very seriously. It is
important to feel proud that a students has done
graduation from university and getting efficient
knowledge and skills. This is required for
developing new ideas and innovations. That is why
university takes appropriate sources for the reports
and projects. Academic integrity is also important to
let mark a person his work and see where the ideas
and innovations are come from. It shows path for
how knowledge has build in the mind of students.
Game Design Skills used to produce the game
From the above game is I have enhance my
thinking and creative skills. As I have made a game which
helps students in learning new skills and capabilities. This
will helps them in feeling confidence while they done their
graduation. By invention of the game, I will be able to
conduct certain activities and games which helps students
in reducing their plagiarism. I will be able to think
critically and innovatively. I will be performing various
activities related to students knowledge. Enhancing my
communication and decision making skills I will be able to
make better decisions and communicate with anyone else
very effectively. I have also worked on my strength and
weaknesses. This will helps me in providing better sources
to the universities and develop skills among
