    Paul,

    Great post and research with regards to academic dishonestly and academic integrity in the online environment. I really never thought about the problem associated with academic dishonestly for distance education and e-learning. I believe if a student is going to be dishonest, they will find a way regardless; if it is in the physical classroom or online environment. I do agree, it is probably easier with the latter since nobody is physically watching the student navigate through the online course content and watching them take assessment tests. The idea of having a proctor for testing purposes in online education is a fascinating idea to promote and validate student identification and academic integrity. From a technology issue, I wonder if this procedure is working effectively to reduce academic dishonestly?

    God bless,
    Brad

    Paul,

    The use of assessment in a digital format has been a quagmire from the onset of moving the learning outside of the classroom. I see assessment from the behaviorist POV. Motivation and determination are keys to success. Patricia Duebel points out "assessment is embedded in an activity and must be in the context of problem solving" (p. 69) could be a way to incorporate a learning context to be in a wide ranging problem with not a traditional A, B, C, or D answer. Great post and I like the POV that is ultimately being dealt with by everyone in the digital community.

Cognitivism Theory Blog

Cognitive learning theory views the mind of the learner like a computer.  The learner should receive a variety of sensory inputs while they experience, process, and catalog the information.  Students are repeatedly exposed to the material until they are able to permanently acquire the new knowledge.  One of the major strengths of cognitive learning theory is the efficiency with which material can be covered.  This is particularly important for courses in STEM fields where a large amount of critical information must be mastered.  The efficiency of cognitive learning is viewed by some as a negative due to the stifling of individual student creativity.  Opponents of cognitive learning theory argue that students are not computers to be programmed and that there should be more active engagement in the learning process.  However, this is an oversimplified criticism.  Under cognitive learning theory, students do not just memorize facts.  They take i...
