TEACHING ASTRONOMY - USING HYBRID TEXTBOOKS TO COMBAT ACADEMIC E-CHEATING

To accommodate today's higher education student, fewer textbooks are printed and more are becom- ing digital. Keeping with the modern era, hybrid versions of textbooks have all end-of-chapter assess- ment content moved to digital learning systems such as MindTapTM by Cengage Learningr. In this work, we introduce new pedagogical strategies to combat academic e-cheating, specifically cheating on assessments given in online astronomy courses. The strategies we present in this work are employed in Horizons: Exploring the Universe, Hybrid, 13th Edition, and Universe, Hybrid, 8th Edition, by Seeds, Backman, and Montgomery.
