Technology in the classroom

Looks like our education system will need to step it up a notch in an effort to stem tide of tech-related cheating. A Guardian investigation revealed that these cases have risen 42%.

 

As an example, a British law student was caught red-handed using a James Bond style gadget to cheat in a university exam.

 

The woman was found with 24 pages of notes written in invisible ink that she had smuggled into the test inside a statute book. It is believed she had also snuck a UV light into the exam hall in order to decipher the otherwise invisible cheat sheets. However, the student was quickly spotted by her classmates and her notes were confiscated and was given a failing grade.

 

I wonder what's next....

Glasses that project images are already out. I am sure they can be programed to allow you to cheat.

If that student chose to use her efforts towards studying for the test instead of figuring out how to game the system, just imagine how successful she could be.

How can we teach people that cheating is only cheating yourself?
