Studies show cheating on homework assignments and on exams happens at an alarming rate. As high school and college students gain more tech skills, the ways in which they cheat evolve. Should students be allowed to drink a soda during an exam? Listen to an iPod? Have a cell phone with them? Students are using all these devices (and more) to cheat! Come to this workshop to learn what constitutes high tech cheating and see statistics on the extent of the problem. Take a tour of the paper mill, textbook solution, and test sharing web sites. See the videos, technologies, and actual devices that students use to cheat. Get tips on how to curb high tech cheating.
