schools have had to contend with cheating for a long time, and no-device-allowed sitting exams have been the norm for a long while now
The amount of cheating and ease of it has gone way up based on my monitoring of teaching communities. Like it's not even close in terms of before ChatGPT vs. after ChatGPT.
Worse yet many educators are not being supported by their administration since enrollments are falling and the admin wants to keep the dollars coming regardless of if the students are learning.
It's worse than just copying Wikipedia because plagarism detectors aren't as effective and may never be.
It's an arms race and right now AI cheating has structural advantages that will take time to remove.
Yes, but "no devices allowed sitting exams" address all of the ChatGPT cheating concerns.
But that does nothing for homework or long term projects where you can't control the student's physical location for the duration of the work.
You could do a detailed interview after the work is completed, to verify the student actually understands the work they supposedly produced. But that adds to the time spent between instructors and students making it harder to scale classes to large sizes. Which may not be a completely bad thing.
