has spurred an eruption of cheating among students, from grade school to college. With many students isolated at home over the past year—and with a mass of online services at their disposal—academic dishonesty has never been so easy.
Websites that allow students to submit questions for expert answers have gained millions of new users over the past year. A newer breed of site allows students to put up their own classwork for auction. “Consider hiring me to do your assignment,” reads a bid from one auction site. “I work fast, pay close attention to the instructions, and deliver a plagiarism-free paper.”
Some educators fear the new generation of cheaters will be loath to stop even after the pandemic recedes. “Students have found a way to cheat and they know it works,” said Thomas Lancaster, senior teaching fellow in computing at Imperial College in London, who has studied academic integrity issues for more than two decades. He said cheating sites number in the thousands, from individuals to large-scale operations.
Concerned about his North Carolina State University students cheating in a statistics class, Tyler Johnson launched a plan.
Take notice. I’ve caught my kids doing it. More than once. Get involved, parents.

Education should move to being more conceptual and less content. With the internet, everyone is artificially intelligent for content.
Maybe an educational structure created around completion of tasks as opposed to grasping of concepts leads to rampant abuse
Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Dumb answers to dumb questions, any decent professors will see straight through any students BS. Only ones fooled are even lazier than cheating students and recycle same mult. choice q’s every year
A shame they don't realize the only one they are cheating is themselves of actual knowledge.
What did they expect?
41 children died in Gaza. Why is everyone silent. Did you not know? .
Nous lançons un appel à toutes les personnes de conscience et de croyance, tant que cette persécution est à Gaza, il n'est pas juste de parler de quoi que ce soit d'autre. HearGaza
Maybe we have to reconsider what school is and means.
There is an easy solution: have test on which you cannot cheat. My student can use books, notes, internet and even WhatsApp dieing my exams. It doesn't help them at all 😄
In a world where genocide in Palestine is ignored, this is very normal. HearGaza
LFG
Plan a better lesson for student. One plan would not fit all... at all.
Duh.

Cheating huh? They've learned well from wall street.
Educating the political party leaders of the future, apparently.

A: paying for education is a dumb move, for dumb people, advocated by an aged system. B: school isn't a place for smart people, it's a place where mediocre people compare themselves to each other. If school was actually a place to grow ones self, it would be free.
Sounds like they're learning how to work in a group setting to me.

Online Cheating Charges Upend Dartmouth Medical SchoolHANOVER, N.H. — Sirey Zhang, a first-year student at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, was on spring break in March when he received an email from administrators accusing him of cheating. Dartmouth had reviewed Zhang’s online activity on Canvas, its learning management system, during three remote exams, the email said. The data indicated that he had looked up course material related to one question during each test, honor code violations that could lead to expulsion, the email said. Zhang, 22, said he had not cheated. But when the school’s student affairs office suggested he would have a better outcome if he expressed remorse and pleaded guilty, he felt he had little choice but to agree. Now he faces suspension and a misconduct mark on his academic record that could derail his dream of becoming a pediatrician. Sign up for The Morning newsletter from the New York Times “What has happened to me in the last month, despite not cheating, has resulted in one of the most terrifying, isolating experiences of my life,” said Zhang, who has filed an appeal. He is one of 17 medical students whom Dartmouth recently accused of cheating on remote tests while in-person exams were shut down because of the coronavirus. The allegations have prompted an on-campus protest, letters of concern to school administrators from more than two dozen faculty members and complaints of unfair treatment from the student government, turning the pastoral Ivy League campus into a national battleground over escalating school surveillance during the pandemic. At the heart of the accusations is Dartmouth’s use of the Canvas system to retroactively track student activity during remote exams without their knowledge. In the process, the medical school may have overstepped by using certain online activity data to try to pinpoint cheating, leading to some erroneous accusations, according to independent technology experts, a review of the software code and school documents obtained by The New York Times. D Meh, even if Doctors cheat I can double check on Google.
