We hear about this happening but I'm shocked at the percent of college students that admitted to doing this in high school. I never cheated in school but didn't realize so many other folks did! You know this is happening online if this many people admitted to cheating in high school. It’s sad to see how far some people will go to cheat.

The only 1 thing I would like to add is that you are talking about the plagiarism in education, but this is problem is much wider. In journalism plagiarism can cause serious and sometimes irrecoverable damage to reputation and result in plagiarist's suspension from future tasks. He may lose his position, as well as respect from readers and employers. In academia this practice can result in even greater damage, as many universities now implemented different sanctions, which include even expulsion from the educational establishment. In here plagiarism is regarded as academic dishonesty or academic fraud, which is subject to serious punishments. With the development of plagiarism detection systems these penalties became rather strict and wide-spread, as it became very easy and convenient to check students' or employees' works for plagiarism with high percentage of probability. That is one of the main reasons why plagiarism detection shouldn't be regarded as a trifle, as this issue can really turn the balance. Awesome article!

These on-line courses are extremely disappointing for students for all the reasons you mention. But my enormous disappointment deals with the issue of or lack of testing control that is rampant in many, many on-line courses and colleges. I can't tell you how many times I;ve been asked to take the exams for students...I can't believe my ears...and it's happening more and more frequently! Believe me, someone is taking the exams for these students but it's not the ones enrolled in the course. They are not required to go to a testing center...can you believe this! How do these colleges get accredited? I Don't understand!!! I keep thinking I could tell this story to a newspaper like the NY Times so that they could investigate ALL of the schools who support this unethical approach to education. I've been in shock over this...but am now hopeful that you're awareness of it, too might help to find out how the accrediting organizations are allowing this to blatently continue.
