This discussion evaluates the complex issue of cheating in online environments, focusing on both the perceived and real challenges faced by faculty, instructional designers, and administrators. It explores two primary approaches: the "search and destroy" method, which relies on technology to detect and punish cheating, and the "hearts and minds" strategy, aimed at fostering a community of ethical scholarship through engagement and education. By examining emerging solutions, we can better understand and address the various perceptions of cheating in online education.
