Using Technology to Cheat: Can Schools Protect
Themselves?. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 68
Cheating has been a problem for educators for
decades. Educators that teach anything from
elementary to college level courses have had
experience with cheating in some form.
In the traditional form, passing notes and cheat
sheets have been the form in which most cheating has
occurred. Catching cheaters can be an extremely
difficult task for some teachers. With the increasing
availability of technology, new forms of cheating
have evolved. Students are using technology to
cheat. Why do these students cheat? What forms of
technology are in use to cheat? Are America’s
teachers prepared to deal with the new forms of
cheating?
The understanding of common practices will help
reduce instances of cheating students as teachers
become savvy in the newest
forms of cheating.
The purpose of Using Technology to Cheat: Can Schools
Protect Themselves is to investigate the many ways
that technology is being used to cheat on
assignments, discuss the problem of cheating, and
prepare teachers for students using technology to
cheat. A design for a Blackboard course is included
to help teach other educators about methods of
cheating and to help deter academic dishonesty.
