Game Design: Pick and Play Cards to Promote Academic Integrity

This project outlines the design of a game called 'Pick and Play Cards,' intended to promote academic integrity among students. The game is structured into three sections: plagiarism, academic misconduct, and academic integrity. In each section, students answer questions by selecting the correct card, earning credits for each correct answer. Accumulating sufficient credits allows students to 'login' and 'submit' assessments. The game emphasizes the importance of academic integrity, highlighting pillars such as trust, honesty, fairness, respect, and dignity. The project concludes that upholding academic integrity is crucial for students' professional development and cultivating a fair academic environment, referencing relevant research and literature on game design and academic integrity.
