The cheating reports were designed to inform the educational institution that some students are committing fraud with attendance tracking so they can take necessary actions against the students involved.
Attention! It may happen that the report triggers false positives, for example, when a learner signs in on their classmate's smartphone because theirs ran out of battery. In such cases, the instructor must remain vigilant during classes.
With some examples, alerts will allow you to:
get a cheat rate for all students
be informed about students who cheat

An automated task checks if a student hasn't logged into two different accounts using the same smartphone for signing in. Each smartphone is identified by a unique identifier.

An alert is displayed if a suspicion of cheating is detected, providing access to the cheating report to see which learners cheated in terms of attendance.
4️⃣ Be informed of cheating reports 📢
Notifications can be enabled on both instructor and administrator platforms to stay informed and get cheating reports. You can also enable receiving cheating reports via email to store them outside of Edusign.

Once the notification menu is open, click on the button with the 3 superimposed dots at the top right of the menu, then on Notification Settings.
Scroll down in the settings page to the "Personalization" section then enable cheating detection by notification and / or email as you wish.
In conclusion, cheating reports allow you to maintain a certain level of vigilance over your learners' attendance, detecting different cheating attempts.
