| description | With the advent of cyber technology, one aspect of
teaching is starting to take root in the institution of higher education
and that is e-learning. The current scenario in the education sector of
developing countries such as Malaysia is also experiencing the
beginning of participation in the exploration and exploitation of e-learning
initiatives. Like in many other trends, be it social, economic
or political, put forth, particularly from the propagation of ideas of
the western countries, developing countries take on to these like wild
bush fire. This is also observed in the education sector. This paper
attempts to address some of the challenges that have cropped up as
far as learning with technology is concerned. The borderless realm of
knowledge warrants behaviour that may lead to academic dishonesty.
In frequent observations, some actions on the part of the students
may precariously endanger the credibility of their assignments,
projects and evaluation. To sustain these values for the good of their
future, we need to address these challenges and to make known to
these students the implications that these behaviour create on their
study and their future.
Some considerations have been discussed in the subsequent part of
the paper to help curb academic dishonesty in the university. The
role taken by the institutions of higher education has to be
comprehensive, if not total. It is particularly important that the
management of student affairs, the faculty and several other parties
be able to see these issues as very serious before the undesirable
elements of technology usage sits deeply enrooted in the teachinglearning
process. After all, the future of a nation depends on the
stewardship of these students when they graduate one day and work
in the government or private sectors of the country. |
