Exam Time: Preventing Cheating

Tuesday April 15, 2008
Like most of us I find myself swamped with news and information. I organized my intake process a couple of years ago by monitoring news and blogs using RSS feeds and Bloglines. But you know the way that goes: all the information you asked for is aggregated in one place but YOU still have to scan it. One of the feeds which caught my eye recently was from Caveon.com. It's a firm specializing in test security. Browse Caveon's site and you immediately realize how quickly cheating is transforming itself from old-fashioned techniques to very sophisticated electronic ways of cheating.

You have to be vigilant to catch cheaters. Whether students use old fashioned crib notes or send text messages, you have to be on the lookout. Here are five things you can do to catch cheaters.
