Abstract
This session presents an empirical study examining academic integrity issues in online MBA education. Participants are instructors and students of an online MBA program offered by a highly ranked business school in the US. Data are collected through interviews, an electronic survey, and document analysis. Following issues are investigated: how do the instructors and students perceive cheating and plagiarism in online MBA education? What do they think why some students plagiarize or cheat? What strategies do instructors use in preventing and detecting online cheating and plagiarism? What concerns do they have, and what support would they need in helping students maintain academic integrity?
