This article examines the effects of the social media applications Facebook, Twitter, Snap Chat/Instagram, Texting and various smartphone applications on academic dishonesty in higher education. The study employed a mixed-methods approach conducted through an emailed question-pro student survey consisting of 20 questions. The results of the study indicated that the majority of students in higher education utilize the social media applications Facebook, Twitter, Snap Chat/Instagram and Smart Phones to assist with their academic studies. Although students report utilizing these forms of social media to assist with their studies most do not use these applications for cheating or any form of academic dishonesty. There was an increased willingness to use texting, screenshots, video and audio recordings to cheat on exams and other academic requirements. In addition, the majority of participants indicated they felt any form of cheating or academic dishonesty was wrong. However, most indicated they would do little or nothing to intervene or prevent it in their particular classroom situations.

Of Greece

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a major readjustment on university educational practices through employment of online mode for the delivery of courses, assessment of students’ assignments and supervision of final exams. The case of Greece is of particular interest given that out of its 26 universities in total, only one provided online courses on a bachelor level prior to the pandemic. One outcome is the fact that faculty admit that there are issues with academic integrity. Predominantly, faculty members consider plagiarism as the main issue regarding academic dishonesty. It is interesting to underline that faculty do not seem to recognize the terms describing other forms of academic dishonesty. Evidence collected in this survey indicates that the coronavirus pandemic contributed positively to an increase in cases of academic dishonesty. This is mainly attributed to conducting many more assessment activities than before online, including the final examinations for the courses. It is useful to add that during that period, we saw many posts on social media soliciting domain experts to “assist” students with online exams and – in some cases – to sit in the exams in lieu of the students themselves. Faculty recognize text similarity software, regulation policies as well as educational actions as tools of determent.
