The New (and Old) Ways Students Cheat: What You Can Do About It

Student Cheating On Campus and Online

Distance Education Report newsletterIt’s often been said that if students put as much effort and ingenuity into studying as they do into cheating … there’d be no need to cheat.

Clearly that lesson hasn’t been learned yet. Fully 95% of students admit to cheating during their academic career.

With the growth of online education, the problem is only getting worse. The virtual classroom offers new methods of cheating, and new opportunities to employ old methods, as well.

But you can’t throw in the towel as maintaining academic integrity is important – for its own sake but also because accreditation and funding are closely tied to it.

Scott Howell, Ph.D., of Brigham Young University's Division of Continuing Education surveys the ways students are cheating online (and even in the classroom), from cell phones to rubber bands and everything in between in 75-minutes.

Learn what you can do to combat cheating in distance education as we cover:

  • Cell phone and MP3 cheating
  • Braindumps
  • Organized group cheating
  • The use of Bluetooth technology
  • Traditional methods, from body writing to cheat sheets
  • Online “how to cheat” tutorials

You’ll also learn preventive strategies to help detect and/or prevent cheating, including:

  • The honor system
  • Banning electronic devices
  • Requiring identification
  • Fingerprinting and scanning
  • Commercial security systems
  • Cheat-resistant laptops
  • Randomized testing
  • Statistical analysis
