In recent years, student misconducts in universities and other educational institutions have become a growing concern. The academic environment, once known for fostering growth, learning, and positive social interactions, has faced challenges related to various forms of misconduct such as Cheating, Plagiarism, and Fabrication or Falsification to name a few. Additionally, the growing number of students and easy availability of generative technologies to the students, have significantly contributed to sudden spikes in the number of misconducts in the educational institution. Consequently, the client, a leading academic institution in ANZ region, was facing difficulties in tracking and acting upon the misconducts via their existing processes which included areas that were unsecure and had a lot of repetitive manual work.

Based on Espire’s expertise in business analysis, automation, digital transformation, and software development skills, our team proposed the solution that shall be beneficial for lecturer in charge, academic integrity team, academic integrity officer, and eventually for Faculty Academic Misconducts Management Committee (including the Faculty Deans and the Faculty Managers- to decide and help action, should there be any severe penalties applicable to the student).
