Boom. That’s it. It’s not cheating that’s the problem—that would be an epitome of a red herring. Emulation of a traditional environment with online learning software is not how it was intended to be used, nor is it practical.
Even when I was in college, the number of traditional courses serving additional content through Moodle/Blackboard was stupid high. I understand honor system and all that jazz. But really, if the ~15-some athletes in a business 200-level section are going to gather in the library to cheat together...then maybe the quiz should have been delivered traditionally. At least then, I wouldn’t have to hear the half-a-class rant from the professor about what losers the cheaters are.
