Abstract

This paper reports findings from an empirical study investigating the degree to which an online test created using a popular web-based testing development tool—Coursebuilder for Dreamweaver MX—is susceptible to student cheating. Results indicate that students at all computing ability levels are capable of discovering viable cheating methods, even when specific anti-cheating measures have been implemented. However, these measures can significantly reduce the quantity of online cheating occurrences. The paper concludes with a discussion of additional derived strategies for further reducing the probability of cheating online. Designers, developers or trainers utilizing web-based testing systems should take interest.
