(Q) wireless networking classroom cheating examples

[Wayne Smith <wayne.smith () CSUN EDU>]

Colleagues,

As wireless capability on campus becomes more ubiquitous and
wireless-enabled devices become smaller (and therefore possibly harder
to detect), it seems that maintaining exam ("closed-book") security is
becoming a larger issue over time (especially in large lecture hall
environments).

Does anyone has any pointers or references to documented (peer-reviewed
literature or practioner literature) cases of higher-education students
using wireless networking capability (e.g., 802.11b) to cheat on exams
in class?  Also, does anyone know of a pointer to a collection of
techniques (technological or otherwise) to negate or migate the
potential for exam cheating with wireless connectivity?

Again, note I'm only interested in exam cheating, not other, more valid,
uses of wireless connectivity in the classroom.

Thanks in advance,

Wayne
