- Online Learning
- Academic Integrity
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift to online examinations.
- This transition created unprecedented challenges in maintaining the integrity of assessments.
- Instances of cheating in online exams became a significant concern for educational institutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present evidence of cheating in online examinations during COVID-19.
- To propose practical solutions for mitigating online exam cheating.
- To leverage insights from online chess communities' experience with proctoring.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of cheating incidents in online examinations during COVID-19 lockdowns.
- Review of anti-cheating strategies employed by online chess communities over two decades.
- Formulation of recommendations for online exam policies and test design.
Main Results:
- Evidence of widespread cheating in online examinations during the pandemic was identified.
