Online learning and cheating means re-evaluating testing - RNZ

 Due to the pandemic, universities had to conduct exams remotely and online in entirely trust-based systems. Students began forming their own ways of working and systems for information exchange which evidently resulted in cheating scandals - including at the University of Auckland.  But the online learning revolution has raised a question; Is it cheating, or using initiative?  Massey University teaching consultant Linda Rowan explores the issue with Sunday Morning, and talks about whether we need to adapt to our new reality and change our testing methods.
