The Project, titled “Investigating the efficacy of culturally specific academic literacy and academic honesty resources for Chinese students”, will conduct research into the use of multimedia resources and technologies to help Chinese students better understand the principles and issues of academic literacy and plagiarism.

This is an extension of work undertaken as a pilot project in 2006 which incorporated multimedia resources including a website, video and interactive elements. This Project aims to develop a resource which includes culturally specific examples and messages that best convey the key themes of academic literacy and academic honesty to Chinese students.
