Cheating 2.0 - Cheating Upgraded is Cheating Nonetheless.

Let's see, what was cheating back in the day? Scribbling notes on our wrists, or the understide of baseball caps, or the tops of shoes.

Now in the new millenia, the goal is the same but the cheating technology has been upgraded.

Cheating has gone high tech. Cell phones, PDA and online term papers all are co-conspirators.

But professors are fighting back. Here's some ways that professors and educational institutions are reducing the odds of cheating electronically:

• Turning off wireless access points during tests
• Insisting all electronic devices are stored during tests
• Running papers through turnitin.com to detect plagarism

Best of all was a sting run by professors at University of Maryland's College Park campus. Professors posted an incorrect version of the answers on a website that could be accessed via cell phone during the test. Those students who submitted those answers on the test were sussed out and flunked.
