The Achieving with Integrity (AwI) Project
- I am the PI of this Project which I started in the United States with David Wangaard in 2007. We are always in various stages of the research and publication cycle and have several programs and manuscripts in production.
- I am a Co-PI on this Project which includes inter-Faculty collaboration of scholars from the School of Learning Development and Professional Practice in the FoESW and the School of Psychology in the Faculty of Science.

- I am the Deputy Project Leader of this multi-disciplinary, inter-institutional collaboration between scholars at AUT and the UOA.

We are currently seeking funding to develop and evaluate digital resources for PPPS-based instruction via an extended-term mixed-methods study.
