Grace,
I agree with you! The more the instructor become the "gatekeeper" the more responsive the students will become.

I think we should always be concerned with cheating whether it is in the online environment or on ground (traditional classes). There needs to be a certain level of integrity that is standardized in higher education. I think it is much easier to get away with plagiarism and "cheating" in an online environment and it is up to the instructor to be the gatekeeper and role model on this. The more rigorous the interaction on the part of the instructor - setting the stage - being the model - and the more assessment and feedback provided by the instructor to the student - the less likely there is to be "run away" cheating going on. What do others think?

Indeed. It is our job as an instructor to push for individualized creativity.
