Abstract: The shift to online learning during and after the COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about academic dishonesty, especially cheating. This study explores whether online learning environments contribute to higher instances of cheating or if it is merely more detectable through digital tools. Using surveys and literature review, this paper analyzes students’ motivations, educators’ challenges, and the effectiveness of current detection tools. Results show a significant perception of increased cheating, though data suggest that accessibility and surveillance, rather than dishonesty, have made cheating more visible. The paper concludes with recommendations for building ethical academic environments online.
