Abstract
Student honesty is a universal issue, however the reasons behind dishonest behaviour are complex and varied. This work in progress presents the development of a culturally focussed, online learning course designed to make students aware of issues surrounding academic integrity. This system has been designed to operate in a Muslim education environment, and attempts to take into account the specific needs, pressures and motivations of the students in this culture. A main, theme centres on the context of how personal academic integrity relates to being a good Muslim in an educational environment. This system is implemented on the university’s learning management system and will be completed as part of a mandatory first year English course.
