Academic Ethics in the Context of the Covid 19 Pandemic: Efficient Methods Used at the Institutional Level

Abstract

In the pandemic context caused by Covid 19, academic ethics and values have suffered in terms of information, promotion and dissemination of academic regulation and professional behavior. All public institutions are based either on the ethics code and deontology either on professional behavior regulations to counteract the problems of inappropriate conduct. Therefore, new promotion methods adapted to online communication were needed. The new methods used facilitated the transmission of information, which addresses the rights and obligations of students, the academic behavior rules for teaching and support staff, thus facilitating compliance with ethical and conduct standards accepted and imposed by the university environment. This paper addresses the issue of methods used during this period, in which the online area was the development sphere of all actions taken. Information and promotion through e-mails, individual or group meetings, debates on various topics, counseling sessions have found a suitable field for manifestation in the virtual space. Therefore, a university, which in today's society has the role of representing a pole of excellence with the function of opinion formatter and attitude in all its levels, has the difficult task of promoting and surveying moral and ethical values.
