Academic Integrity Charter in the E-Learning Environment

Positive Interaction's positive training interaction in the e-learning environment is based on a policy of academic values, honesty, and integrity. Trainees and trainers must uphold these values, reflecting them in behaviors and ethics during training and exams. Cheating, identity fraud, or any violation of academic integrity in the e-learning environment is strictly prohibited.

Cheating Prevention Techniques and Identity Fraud:

During exams, trainees are not allowed to communicate with each other. They are prohibited from retaining books, papers, or referring to any books, papers, or information sources, whether paper or electronic, without explicit permission from the trainer.

Written Assignments:

The submission of any written assignment is the responsibility of the trainee. Trainees must submit their work personally to the course trainer or their designated assistant within the specified time.

Collaboration in course assignments or task completion is not allowed without explicit permission from the trainer. Trainees should familiarize themselves with all relevant course regulations and consult their course trainer and advisors regarding assignment preparation and submission.

Other Actions:

1.       Trainees who sell lectures, notes, papers, or research papers during their enrollment or accept monetary compensation for their work without prior written approval from the training center will face disciplinary measures.

2.       Trainees providing models or petitions with falsified information, forged signatures, or misleading information will be subject to disciplinary actions.

3.       Tests are designed to cover all aspects and outcomes of the course and primarily assess the trainee's understanding of the course and training outcomes.

4.       Emphasis on projects and oral tests in the evaluation process.

5.       Trainees may be required to operate their video cameras in some cases to verify their identity, and camera verification may be requested during the trainee's presence to ensure no unauthorized individuals or materials are present.

6.       Prohibition of wearing headphones.

7.       Comprehensive awareness for trainees and trainers regarding systems, regulations, and penalties for cheating and identity fraud.

8.       Use of technology to prevent opening of any other programs during the test and to prevent copying of the test.

9.       Presentation of test instructions, rules, and cheating and identity fraud regulations during the test.

1.       Impersonating someone else to take the test.

2.       Negatively impacting the progress of the test, whether the intent is cheating or for any other reason.

3.       Disrespect towards colleagues or test supervisors.
