Strategies for Designing a Game to Avoid Plagiarism and Misconduct

This report discusses plagiarism as a significant issue in academic and professional settings, highlighting its classification as academic misconduct. It explores how educators can use games, specifically the 'Integrity Card' game, to foster academic integrity among students and prevent unethical practices. The report details the design and structure of the 'Integrity Card' game, which involves students and teachers, using cards with questions and point-based answers to improve knowledge and promote integrity. The aim is to equip students with skills to avoid plagiarism and adopt ethical behaviors, thus enhancing their academic performance and overall integrity. Desklib provides a platform for students to access similar solved assignments and study resources.

professional and legal life of a person. Plagiarism can be categories as academic misconduct

includes designing of a game for students which develop different strategies for avoiding
academic misconduct and plagiarism. s
TASK 1
Plagiarism refers to a act of presenting others work and ideas as our own without their consent
and incorporating their work without their acknowledgement. It is a major problem in academic
life of a students and create various barrier in process of learning (Greenhalgh, 2021). Plagiarism
allegation create various problems in life of a students as it can cause students to be expelled and
suspended. Academic misconduct is considered as cheating which take place in context to formal
academic exercise. It can be considered as action which are attempting to gain unfair academic

cheating, plagiarism, possession of material which are unauthorised and fabrication of data at a
time of examination. Poor academic record of a students creates problems for them for entering
in another college or high school. It results in adjustment to integrity and working pattern for
student which can hinder learning and knowledge of a student. In order to avoid these problems,
there are quick game which improve academic integrity of a person. There are different
strategies to be adopted by universities for designing a game for students in order to improve
their academic integrity and also helps them to overcome of various problems faced by students
in their academic life.
Integrity card:
Integrity card is an offline game which is designed for improving academic integrity of a person
and also helps to avoid plagiarism and other academic misconduct. This game helps students for

used for playing this game. It is category in different segment and students needs to flip the card
to see question. Answers of this question contain different numbers which are rank from 1 to 5
and student who get more points will win the game. Aims of developing this game is to improve
knowledge of students and also develop value of integrity among them. It improves performance
of students by providing them feedback of their performance.
Design and model of game:
Integrity car is a game which helps to avoid plagiarism in content of a person as it helps to learn
students about how to neglect plagiarism (Li and Wang, 2020). There are different cards are used

avoid plagiarism and adopt academic integrity. In order to improve their values, teachers are
designing different game for students related to academic integrity.
