This session synthesizes information from a variety of sources to provide an evidence-informed overview of the development of academic integrity in Canada, including research, teaching and learning, policy and student affairs. This session draws in part from published research tracing advancements in the field in Canada back more than a quarter of a century (Eaton & Edino, 2018). This session highlights particular contributions from Alberta. Ten evidence-based implications emerged that can serve as a basis for deeper dialogue.
