Both articles were published in the Chronicle of Higher Education in November, 1999. Cheating is mentioned only briefly. Certain types of examination and evaluation lend themselves towards compelling the student to make a personal investment of themselves. While these methods are no guarantee to prevent cheating, they go a long way towards making that process very difficult.

Online education prevents some types of evaluation and leaves others open to potential dishonesty.
Crystal rightly points out that there are methods that would enable instructors to test without having to resort to extraordinary methods to guarantee the legitimacy of the test.
