Students Looking For Easy A Target Online Courses, Where Cheating Is Easier

Posted by timothy on from the cloud-this-cloud-that-cloud-jump-ropes dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As online courses become mainstream, some students are finding they are often easy to game. A group of clever students at one public university describe how they used a Google Doc during on open-book test for a new kind of 'cloud cheating.'" Instead of "cloud" all the time, can't we switch it up with "on the internet"?

  1. Who are these "clever" students cheating? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    A certificate for completing an online course is worth nothing, and they learned nothing, and they're still "proud" of that. As long as these idiots are only cheating themselves, it's fine with me.
