Material Detail

The Project, titled Investigating the efficacy of culturally specific academic literacy and academic honesty resources for Chinese students, conducted research into the use of multimedia resources and technologies to help Chinese students better understand the principles and issues of academic literacy and plagiarism. This was an extension of work undertaken as a pilot project in 2006 which incorporated multimedia resources including a website, video and interactive elements. The project developed a resource which includes culturally specific examples and messages that best convey the key themes of academic literacy and academic honesty to Chinese students.
