以减少学术不诚实的发生, 教师应该考虑使用难以作弊的评估方法. Some strategies include: 

  • Setting a time limit that is just long enough for students to complete a quiz but not long enough for them to search out answers using external sources. 
  • Creating questions that require higher order thinking such that students cannot simply find the answers by doing a web search. 
  • Using Canvas features such as question banks and randomized question order to automatically build unique versions of a quiz for each student.
