Research Dispels Myth that Adult Students Don’t Cheat in Online Classes - Lindsey Rae Downs, WCET Frontiers

The results have been consistent: adult students often cheat on exams. They search the web for answers. They use smart phones and mobile devices, so locking down browsers while taking a test has little, if any, effect on cheating. They use Google searches and specialized websites that provide answers to open-ended as well as closed-ended assessments. They perceive less opportunity to cheat when they are monitored by automated proctoring systems. https://wcetfrontiers.org/2018/10/02/research-dispels-myth-that-adult-students-dont-cheat-in-online-classes/
