In a study of 635 undergraduates and graduates from a mid-size university in Appalachia, two researchers at Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va., found that 32.1 percent admitted to cheating in a live class, while 32.7 percent admitted to cheating in an online class at some point while in college. The research also found that students taking online courses were more prone to have someone else give them answers during a test or quiz. To curb online cheating, some universities have partnered with companies that specialize in online-exam monitoring such as ProctorU.
