Agreed. Successful online students are typically self-motivated, mature adults who are not studying for a grade, but for an education. The motivation to "cheat" is less prevalent because the learning goals are self-directed. The question is not how to prevent cheating in any context, but why a student would even desire to cheat in the first place; if learning is the goal of the student and supported by the instruction, cheating should be irrelevant.

As Joshua pointed out, online learners are also generally self directed learners. While a single study of 225 students may not yield statistically significant results, I fully agree that students in online courses are less likely to cheat.

Carmen I am very interested in distance education and training. I am a professor at the University of Puerto Rico. If there are any seminars or conferences scheduled to be offered in Puerto Rico, please keep me posted. If there are none, I am sure that you would have a tremendous turnout. Distance Education is fast becoming very popular here in Puerto Rico.
