Some I have caught and some have gotten away with it entirely. Cheating is a problem. It means they didn't learn (relatively permanent change of knowledge or behavior) the material that they should know. Not just to be able to access, but have knowledge to use when they need it. Being able to find information they don't know through Google and electronic sources is absolutely a skill they should have. But they also should have knowledge without having to access it electronically. I teach Psychology to Criminal Justice majors. Some of them don't see the need for it. But when dealing with a Schizophrenic subject in a crisis situation they don't have time to stop and look it up. I hope the doctor that does surgery on me doesn't have to go to google to find out what incisions to make. Collaboration and creativity are essential but it should happen with people that are knowledgeable so they can maximize their efforts.

As long as we emphasize the importance of content cheating will always be there. However, if we simply see content as a way of getting to deeper understandings and application of content in the form of collaboration and creative pursuits then cheating (in the traditional sense) will become a nonissue.

As Robert pointed out above, performance-based learning lessens the need to cheat (although I'm sure we'll see "doping" of some sort in High School band competitions in the future! *grin*). When the emphasis shifts from "here is the information you need to Get By In Life, and I, the Gatekeeper of Knowledge am giving it to you" to a model of "here is a real-world scenario- now use whatever resources you can to solve the problem" then we'll see a change in students' attitudes toward 'cheating'. I find it amusing when people complain about cheating students. When they get out of school and into the Real World they've supposedly been prepared for, nobody cares if they 'cheat' to find a solution to a problem. In fact, it's encouraged! People who are resourceful problem-solvers are in high demand. In the 18th Century (and probably well into the 19th) a person could conceivably learn all there was to learn. This has not been true for a long time, but educators really don't get it for the most part. We need to be showing students how to utilise all the information that's available to them at the touch of a [cellphone][computer][PDA][calculator] button. I think it's called synthesis. /end rant Perhaps when we start spending more time teaching students how to learn, instead of teaching them (mostly outdated) facts, the incentive to cheat will diminish.

The only times I give a written assignment are for 1.state-mandated writing samples or 2.to find weaknesses in music reading/theory. My students realize that the written assessments are to help them, and that cheating will only hurt them (and their grades) when it comes time to test their playing abilities later on.
