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 perceive less opportunity to cheat when they are monitored by automated proctoring systems.
