Introduction: Creative Sources for Training and Consulting Center is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity in all programs and courses it offers. The center pledges to respect intellectual property rights in all digital educational materials and content published on its website or through its e-learning systems and tools.
Definition of Academic Integrity: Academic integrity is the foundation of educational and professional life. It signifies honesty and integrity in using and presenting information, and requires adherence to ethical values, responsibility, and respect for intellectual efforts to achieve academic success and build trust. This principle represents an ethical framework that all learners and faculty members must adhere to, with no tolerance for any form of cheating, identity theft, or other violations of academic integrity.
Principles of Academic Integrity for Learners:
- Creative Sources maintains high academic standards in all training courses and expects learners to act with integrity and honesty in line with academic integrity principles, especially during evaluations such as discussions, assignments, tests, and research.
- The center provides ongoing guidance and technical support to learners to ensure they understand the requirements for maintaining academic integrity, with the awareness that failure to do so constitutes academic misconduct.
- The center provides faculty members with the necessary tools and reports to handle any violations of academic integrity principles that learners may commit.
Guidance and Orientation for New Learners:
- Creative Sources is dedicated to offering guidance and orientation to new learners enrolled in e-learning programs. This includes providing detailed guides on how to use the platform, attend live and recorded lectures, view video lessons, submit tests, and access reports and statistics.
Mechanism for Examining Learners' Work and Preventing Cheating: Creative Sources employs a comprehensive system to monitor learners' performance and activities on the platform through a set of procedures using specialized global systems. These procedures include:
- Designing tests that rely on a mix of randomness and fairness, with questions coming from question banks covering learning outcomes and answers based on understanding and comprehension rather than memorization.
- Learners may be required to activate video cameras during tests to verify their identity.
- Preventing copying of test questions or pasting answers.
- Recording the time of the learner's entry on the platform and attendance of classes.
- In some tests, learners may be required to attend the center in person to take the exams.
Mechanism to Prevent Identity Theft: To ensure account security and protect learners' identities, Creative Sources uses a two-factor authentication system to verify the identity of users when accessing the platform. This system provides a higher level of account security by requiring learners to authenticate their identity through multiple methods, thus preventing any attempts at identity theft.
Commitment: This commitment is part of our dedication to providing outstanding training and educational services that align with the needs of the community and the educational sector, aiming to enhance the trust of learners and clients in our center.
We reaffirm our ongoing commitment to achieving the highest levels of quality and legal compliance, and we strive to deliver content that contributes to the development of skills and knowledge for individuals and organizations.
