The authors discuss the various aspects of how academic integrity and information literacy are linked to learning, and provide examples on how our theories can be put into practice. The book considers how social change impacts students, the impact of digital technologies, and the proliferation of information sources. The book then considers the normative side of higher education, namely academic integrity and the personal development process of students.
