Discouraging academic dishonesty in online courses

Clin Lab Sci. 2010 Fall;23(4):194-200.

Abstract

With the development of distance education and blended course delivery formats, our faculty faced new issues related to academic integrity in online testing. Current students often differ in their understanding of what is appropriate academic behavior and what is considered cheating. Enhancing quiz formats and educating faculty and students about academic integrity policies has minimized the situation in our program.
