Abstract: With the continued growth of online courses, the academic integrity of students has received much attention. Through the Internet and other technology mediated strategies, students today have many more ways to “cheat” compared to students a decade ago. Cheating is certainly not a new phenomenon. However, the difference between today’s environment and that of previous decades is that cheating behavior has apparently become common. It appears that cheating is no longer the exception to the rule. So the question is posed, has the Internet provided an avenue to create a “cheating culture”? This research seeks to examine perceptions of cheating among online undergraduate business students.

 

Key words: online, cheating, ethics
