This short article hits on a small portion of our course discussion material for the week-- academic integrity in online education. The article discusses some of the issues with cheating online, and makes some suggestions as to who the responsibility falls on. It also brings up some less-known issues surrounding online education, such as "diploma mills" and universities' negligence of their online students. Enjoy!

Mark, I found this article interesting. I totally agree that online learning has opened new avenues for con-men. I see ads and get spam mail regarding online degrees. I disagree with the last section on the cost of the online classes. Burks addressed this issue in a reply to someone on our class discussion board. It is more expensive than we realize to run an online class program. I wish I could call to mind some of the cost issues involved. Perhaps Burks will comment on this.
