Funny that we’ll end up with exams being the prevalent mode of testing students, once internet cheating makes it impossible not to. Lock people in a Faraday cage with a paper pad or a thin-client controlled terminal. Job done.

Shame that this Socitm report comes down to “a lengthy procurement process” for shared services. It doesn’t have to be that way.
