To be presented by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mike Perkins, who is is the Head of the Centre for Research & Innovation at British University Vietnam, Vietnam. He holds a PhD in Management from the University of York, where he explored performance management in local policing services. His current research focuses on performance management, academic integrity, and the impact of Generative AI (GenAI) technologies in academia, particularly concerning HEI policy responses to these advancements.
His work on GenAI focuses on the intersection between technology, education, and academic integrity. His research has explored the efficacy of AI text detectors; media attitudes towards GenAI tools; how AI can be ethically introduced into assessments; policy approaches towards GenAI from both universities and academic publishers, and how these tools can be used in academic research. He is the university lead for the integration of GenAI policies into BUV and has provided training and guidance to Vietnamese educators and policy-makers on this topic.
As well as research on GenAI tools, Mike has also explored broader academic integrity issues. These have included investigating the murky operations of diploma mills, and student perceptions of cheating during the transition to online learning prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic. He maintains a strong focus on supporting students to understand and navigate university policies related to academic integrity: a challenge which has been increased since the broad introduction of GenAI tools in education over the last year.
