Some professors worry that online classes make it too easy for students to cheat. But, a new study shows that virtual learners may actually be more inclined to turn in honest work. The admittedly limited study compared in-person and online students from Friends University in Kansas.
Arizona's State Press explains:
"The study looked at seven different types of cheating, including cheating on tests, plagiarizing and aiding and abetting.
Online students reported less cheating in all seven areas than those enrolled in on-campus courses."
It will certainly be interesting to see what future studies show.

I’ve wondered about this myself. Seems there’s opportunity to pay someone to do the work for you.
