Non-commutative connections of the second type or hom-connections and associated integral forms are studied as generalisations of right connections of Manin. First, it is proven that the existence of hom-connections with respect to the universal differential graded algebra is tantamount to the injectivity, and that every finitely cogenerated injective module admits a hom-connection with respect to any differential graded algebra. The bulk of the paper is devoted to describing a method of constructing hom-connections from twisted multi-derivations. The notion of a free twisted multi-derivation is introduced and the induced first order differential calculus is described. It is shown that any free twisted multi-derivation on an algebra A induces a unique hom-connection on A that vanishes on the dual basis for the module of one-forms. To any flat hom-connection \nabla on A one associates a chain complex, termed a complex of integral forms on A. The canonical cokernel morphism to the zeroth homology space is called a \nabla-integral. Examples of free twisted multi-derivations, hom-connections and corresponding integral forms are provided by covariant calculi on Hopf algebras or quantum groups and on quantum spaces. The example of a flat hom-connection within the 3D left-covariant differential calculus on the quantum group SL(2) is described in full detail. A descent of hom-connections to the base algebra of a faithfully flat Hopf-Galois extension or a principal comodule algebra is studied. As an example, a hom-connection on the standard quantum Podles sphere is presented. In both cases the complex of integral forms is shown to be isomorphic to the de Rham complex, and the \nabla-integrals coincide with Hopf-theoretic integrals or invariant (Haar) measures.
