Academic misconduct
VIT enforces that the integrity of its students’ academic studies follows an acceptable level of
excellence. VIT will adhere to its VIT Policies, Procedures and Forms where it explains the importance of
staff and student honesty in relation to academic work. It outlines the kinds of behaviours that are
"academic misconduct", including plagiarism.

Late submissions
In cases where there are no accepted mitigating circumstances as determined through VIT Policies,
Procedures and Forms, late submission of assessments will lead automatically to the imposition of a
penalty. Penalties will be applied as soon as the deadline is reached.

Short extensions and special consideration

Special Consideration is a request for:

• Extensions of the due date for an assessment, other than an examination (e.g. assignment
extension).
• Special Consideration (Special Consideration in relation to a Completed assessment, including
an end-of-unit Examination).

Students wishing to request Special Consideration in relation to an assessment the due date of which
has not yet passed must engage in written emails to the teaching team to Request for Special
Consideration as early as possible and prior to start time of the assessment due date, along with any
accompanying documents, such as medical certificates.

For more information, visit VIT Policies, Procedures and Forms.

Inclusive and equitable assessment

Reasonable adjustment in assessment methods will be made to accommodate students with a
documented disability or impairment. Contact the unit teaching team for more information.

Contract Cheating
Contract cheating usually involves purchasing an assignment or piece of research from anotherparty.
This may be facilitated by a fellow student or friend or purchased on a website. The unauthorized
use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is also considered cheating. Other forms of contract
cheating include paying another person to sit an exam in the student's place.

Victorian Institute of Technology www.vit.edu.au CRICOS Provider No. 02044E, RTO No: 20829
 Contract cheating warning:

• By paying someone else to complete your academic work, you don’t learn as much as
possible if you did the work yourself.
• You are not prepared for the demands of your future employment.
• You could be found guilty of academic misconduct.
• Many of for pay-contract cheating companies recycle assignments despite guarantees of
“original, plagiarism-free work”, so the similarity is easily detected by Turnitin.
• Penalties for academic misconduct include suspension and exclusion.
• Students in some disciplines are required to disclose any findings of guilt for academic
misconduct before being accepted into certain professions (e.g., law).
• You might disclose your personal and financial information unsafely, leaving yourselfopen to
many risks, including possible identity theft.
• You also leave yourself open to blackmail - if you pay someone else to do an assignment,
they know you have engaged in fraudulent behaviour and can always blackmail you.

Grades
We determine your grades to the following Grading Scheme:
Grade Percentage

A 80% – 100%

B 70% – 79%

C 60% – 69%

D 50% – 59%

F 0% – 49%

Submission Instructions
All submissions are to be submitted through Turnitin. Drop-boxes linked to Turnitin will be set up in Moodle. Assessments not submitted through these drop-
boxes will not be considered. Submissions must be made by the end of session 5.
The Turnitin similarity score will be used to determine any plagiarism of your submitted assessment. Turnitin will check conference websites, Journal articles,
online resources, and your peer’s submissions for plagiarism. You can see your Turnitin similarity score when you submit your assessments to the
appropriate drop-box. If your similarity score is of concern, you can change your assessment and resubmit. However, re-submission is only allowed before

 Research Study

Topic: The Integration of Information Systems and Artificial Intelligence in Data-Driven Decision Making

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are increasingly relying on data to inform their strategic decisions. The convergence of Information
Systems (IS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a critical role in enabling businesses to extract actionable insights from vast amounts of data. Information systems
serve as the backbone for collecting, storing, and managing organizational data, while artificial intelligence offers advanced analytical techniques such as machine
learning, natural language processing, and predictive analytics. The integration of these two technologies has transformed traditional decision-making processes
into a more data-driven, automated, and intelligent framework.
You should perform a literature survey on the Integration of Information Systems and Artificial Intelligence in Data-Driven Decision Making to identify the benefits
and challenges. Based on your literature survey, you need to Marking rubric

Case Study: Tesla’s Use of Business Information Systems in Autonomous Driving

Tesla is a leading electric vehicle and clean energy company, founded by Elon Musk and others in 2003. Known for its innovative electric cars, Tesla also focuses on
renewable energy solutions, including solar power and energy storage products. Autonomous driving refers to the technology that enables vehicles to operate

Victorian Institute of Technology www.vit.edu.au CRICOS Provider No. 02044E, RTO No: 20829
without human intervention by using advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms. This innovation aims to improve road safety, reduce
human error, and revolutionize the transportation industry.

Tesla employs advanced business information systems that combine AI, big data, and cloud computing to develop its autonomous driving technologies. This case
study is required to investigate Tesla’s data collection systems, which feed into its AI models to improve self-driving capabilities.

The focus of the study should be:

1. Role of information systems in Tesla's vehicle design, production, and self-driving features
2. The integration of AI and information systems for real-time data processing and decision-making
3. Data security, privacy concerns, and regulatory challenges related to autonomous driving

You are required to write a report on the case study given above, create a group presentation video, and upload it to the LMS. Alternatively, you can upload the
video to YouTube as a private video and share the link in your report.
