In a new report [PDF] by two Villanova School of Business professors, the argument is made that "...giving electronic tests can actually reduce cheating and save faculty time" (see HTML summary from Inside Higher Ed). Timed tests drawn from randomly drawn from questions pools were used. "Forty-five percent of students who took part in the study reported that the electronic testing system reduced the likelihood of their cheating during the course." Further, "...professors reported recouping an average of 80 hours by using the e-exams" (Educause Connect).
