Web cheating accessible in online learning, not advisable - Christine Keeling, Jambar Youngstown State
A new service is available. Send a syllabus, grade level and get a quote. If a price is negotiated, then send the textbooks. Someone with an "A" average from a four-year university will pass that class for you, a company on Craigslist advertises. "Blackboard virtual classroom makes it possible to do so." Amidst the growth of Web-based education, several Internet companies hope to capitalize on the sentiments of busy or struggling students by promoting the idea that grades can be bought. But buyers beware: the purchase may come with unforeseen consequences.
