Many who have not taught online wonder how one can discourage dishonesty. There are many strategies that are easy to implement and not costly. A few of the more popular ones are:
- Use unique case studies each semester
- Require distant students to take exams using a proctor
- Phone students (or use VoIP) for an oral exam
- Try Turnitin or another anti-plagiarism software tool
- Create an honor code for the class
- Require annotated bibliographies for final papers
- These and many other strategies can help you achieve a greater certainty of integrety than in on campus classes.
UIS has an online test proctoring policy: http://otel.uis.edu/Portal/teachers/proctoredexams/index.asp
