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.
• Retaining books, papers, or referring to any books, papers, or information sources (whether paper or electronic) without explicit permission from the trainer is prohibited.

Written Assignments:

• 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 is placed 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. Wearing headphones during exams is prohibited.
7. Comprehensive awareness is provided for trainees and trainers regarding systems, regulations, and penalties for cheating and identity fraud.
