How to Cheat Online
Wednesday, November 15 - Noon Mountain Time
Explore a continuum of possibilities for students to cheat online, from technology-as-scapegoat to website hacking. Find out how less-than-ethical students may cheat at each point in the continuum. Through the application of the information and methods presented, instructors will be empowered to look at their own teaching styles with the confidence that they are not inadvertently encouraging or enabling dishonest course participation. Strategies for making courses "cheat resistant" will be addressed.

John Krutsch is an experienced educator and client-server applications programmer; currently he serves as the Assistant Director of Distance Education at Utah Valley State. As an instructional technologist he has overseen the transition from one course management system to another several times. Because of this tedious process Krutsch and his colleagues began to question traditional notions of course migration and have begun to explore migration options that are more efficient but more importantly easily sustainable. |
