Quote:The Impact of an Honor Code on Cheating in Online Learning Courses
by Frank M. LoSchiavo & Mark A. Shat, Journal of Online Learning and Teaching
Although honor codes are effective in certain situations, instructors should maintain realistic expectations when teaching online -- students will likely cheat. Thus, the authors recommend that honor codes be used whenever possible, but that they must be augmented by common sense strategies, such as proctoring. Although proctoring is less convenient for students and instructors, it is one of the most reliable methods for ensuring academic integrity.
