Students have increasingly been adapting to remote online learning however, so have their cheating abilities. Students have always been told that ‘Knowledge is power’ but in order to obtain the power they require knowledge. Learning online has shown to be very difficult for some students. They do not feel as if they have been learning much these past few months. In part, many students have resulted in cheating on quizzes, tests, or essays. 

Cheating during online learning is not your average peeking at your neighbors work, it is more complex and easier than ever before. Jade Mantilla, a junior at Don Lugo said, “Every student has access to the internet, since we are not in a classroom students can just use their phones and have their cameras off, so the teacher won’t know if they are cheating.” This has been a rising problem in the world of online learning. Teachers do not have much control over what each student is doing on the other side of the screen. “Personally, I’ve tried to keep my camera on to prove to the teacher that I am not cheating, because cheating won’t get you anywhere,” said Jade Mantilla. Student’s cannot be adequately assessed on what they know, if what they are submitting is what google or quizlet knows.
