More universities have reverted back to testing students with pen and paper exams because of the difficulty securing digital exams from cheats.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, more university courses have relied on virtual exams - allowing students to bypass protections and cheat their way into better marks.

Professor Stephen Marshall, the director of Victoria University’s Centre for Academic Development, says they've caught a number of students cheating in digital exams - but the metrics are difficult to track.

"It's actually very difficult to really nail down exactly what might be happening in a remote environment or on a remote device. We haven't actually, to my knowledge, pursued many formal cases, if any."
