IT-enabled Cheating

Hello, all. Second to the last post for this class...

This week we discussed IT-enabled cheating. IT could make it easier to cheat, but the same IT can also make it easy to detect cheating. Best not to cheat…

One article we read for this topic was written by a person that discussed some universities that were allowing the use of IT during exams. This person considered it legalized cheating. Basically, the permissible use of IT during an exam is an electronic version of the open-book test. This is not cheating.
