Moreover, the reasons why students choose to…

Currently, concerns appear to focus more narrowly on online testing, generally based on anecdotal assumptions that online students are more likely to engage in academic dishonesty in testing than students in traditional on-campus courses. To address such…

Prestridge, Sarah – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2014

This study offers new knowledge about conceptualising…
