"How to cheat in 2008"

Check out this video



It's a well known concern that as technology evolves there are instructors who are wary about the negative impact that it will have on learning, primarily cheating on exams. So there's warnings about turning your cell phone off while in class, and not allowing any digital devices in exam rooms. And that's all well and good, but to think that that's a solution would be fooling one's self.

The further technology goes, the harder it is to outright cheat your way through. But that also means that it will make cheaters have come up with more elaborate methods. Like the coke bottle-cheat sheet. LOL it's so clever it's funny.

Think of how much further this could go. A shirt with an underlining of an iron-on cheat sheet. A fake tatoo. Maybe even a pen with a cheat sheet taped to it. A watch that's actually a calculator? Pretty soon exam rooms will have to be treated like doctor visits. You'll have to strip at the door and put on a gown while you take the exam, using their pencil! LMAO
