Abstract

Since the early spring of 2020, the pandemic (CoVID-19) outbreak has hindered on-campus attendance, and most institutes were forced to migrate from conventional face-to-face teaching to an online/remote approach. The efficiency of online assessment depends on numerous factors, including validity, reliability, and students' honesty. It is believed that the absence of face-to-face proctoring raises concerns about conducting cheating in online assessment. The focus of the present tips is on the mitigation of cheating attempts.
