Abstract: Cheating can be a problem in higher education particularly with the popularity of online courses. Many faculty members feel that “policing” isn’t part of their job description. Creating awareness, and providing faculty guidelines, tools, techniques and resources to “police” online education is imperative to maintain credibility and academic integrity.
