Cheating in Online Student Assessment: Beyond Plagiarism
Rowe, Neil C.
Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, v7 n2 Sum 2004
Online student assessment features in many distance-learning programs. The prevention of plagiarism has been the subject of much attention, but insufficient attention has been given to other problems of dishonesty in online assessment. We survey the types of problems that can occur and what can be done about them. We believe many educators are unaware of these problems, and most countermeasures proposed are insufficient.
