Inevitably anyone who wants to cheat is going to find a way to do so, be it for an online course or in a normal classroom setting.  While it cannot be completely controlled, you do have some strategies available to you that decreases the likelihood of cheating – or at least discourages it by making life a bit more difficult.<p>Cheating can take many forms, but the majority of people will look to cheat on a quiz, especially an online quiz.  Many educators find this to be challenging, but there are some steps you can take to limit the amount of cheating that takes place.<p>Ultimately it comes down to your quizzing mechanism.  Many learning management systems have a built-in quiz feature, but it is rather stale, relying upon old quizzing principles that lack true effectiveness when it comes to managing the degree of cheating.  Below are some strategies you can use to make life difficult for cheaters:<p><strong> 1. Question Type Variation: </strong> Stay away from any product that only has simple quizzing abilities.  If you can only administer true/false questions and some multiple choice, then you should expect a high degree of cheating.  You need multiple choice, true and false, matching, sorting, fill-in-the-blank, answer randomizing, and more.<div style="display: none !important;"class=mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle></div><p><strong> 2. Question Formation: </strong> Most questions consist of a line of text and then text answers, but if you are able to include video or audio in your questions/answer, then you are one step ahead of the game. This makes it a bit more challenging for someone to take a screenshot of the questions.<p><strong> 3. Question Bank: </strong> In no case whatsoever should you use a quiz that does not have a question bank.  This is by far the easiest way to prevent cheating, and any system that does not have question bank facilities is simply behind the times.  Create a robust list of questions and then delivery a random portion of them to your users – no two quizzes will be the same.<p>If your quiz functionality doesn’t meet all of these criteria, you need something new, and I encourage you to take a look at <a href=https://www.learndash.com/quiz-options/> LearnDash’s integrated quizzing functionality </a> . Using our experience developing and designing elearning for Fortune 500 companies, we have ensured that the quiz with LearnDash is equipped with leading industry trends.  Anything less would be a true disservice.<div style="display: none !important;"class=mailmunch-forms-after-post></div></div></div><div class=single-item__content-sharing><ul class="social share"><li><a class="fa fa-facebook popout"href=https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.learndash.com/how-to-prevent-cheating-in-online-courses/ target=_new title=Facebook> <span class=sr-only> Facebook </span> </a><li><a class="fa fa-twitter popout"href=https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.learndash.com/how-to-prevent-cheating-in-online-courses/&text=How+to+Prevent+Cheating+in+Online+Courses target=_new title=Twitter> <span class=sr-only> Twitter </span> </a><li><a class="fa fa-linkedin popout"href=https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?url=https://www.learndash.com/how-to-prevent-cheating-in-online-courses/&title=How+to+Prevent+Cheating+in+Online+Courses target=_new title=LinkedIn> <span class=sr-only> LinkedIn </span> </a></ul></div><div class=single-item__author-card><div class=single-item__author-photo><img alt="Justin Ferriman photo"src=https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d10ca56b328e09eb3aacdc8830af1b4?s=200&d=mm&r=g></div><div class=single-item__author-content><h3>About Justin Ferriman</h3><div class=text>Justin Ferriman is the co-founder and CEO of LearnDash, the WordPress LMS trusted by Fortune 500 companies, major universities, training organizations, and entrepreneurs worldwide for creating (and selling) their online courses. <a href=https://justinferriman.com/> <strong> Justin's Homepage </strong> </a> | <strong> <a href=https://twitter.com/justinferriman> Twitter </a> </strong></div><div class=single-item__posted-in><h4>Posted in</h4><ul class=post-categories><li><a rel="category tag"href=https://www.learndash.com/category/elearning/> E-Learning </a></ul></div></div></div></div></div></div><section class=page-header><div class="container page-header__wrapper"><div class=page-header__content><i class=page-header__icon> </i><h1>Don't Miss Out!</h1><div class=text>Keep up with the latest LearnDash tips, e-learning trends, webinars, and more!</div><div class=ld-signup-form><div id=subscribe-by-email-4><div class="sbe-widget-form-field-title sr-only">Email address</div><div class=ld-signup-form__wrapper><div class="_form_1286 ld-signup-form__fields"></div><script charset=utf-8 src=https://lrndsh.activehosted.com/f/embed.php?id=1286></script></div><div class=ld-signup-form__message>No-spam guarantee!</div></div></div></div></div></section><div class="ld-comments-wrapper page-content"><div class=page-content__main><div claass="single-item container"><div class="comments-area ld-comments"id=comments><div class=ld-comments__heading><i class=page-header__icon> </i><h2 class=comments-heading__title>Comments</h2><h3 class=comments--heading__subtitle>15 responses</h3><a class=ld-button href=#commentform> Leave a Comment </a></div><div class=comment-list><div class="comment even thread-even depth-1 parent"id=comment-7211><div class=comment-body><p>I enjoyed your post, however I’m new to this field and was considering purchasing Captivate 7 or Articulate to help aide in designing online assessments.
