Paper Title
Nobody Knows: Perceived Opportunity And Academic Dishonesty

Abstract
this study explores student academic dishonesty in the context of traditional and distance-learning courses in higher education. Data from 2,357 Students enrolled in academic institutes in the U.S.A and Israel were surveyed to assess their perceived opportunity to commit academic misconduct. The findings indicate that in both countries dishonest behaviors are greater in face-to-face courses than in online courses. Similarly, the perceived opportunity to engage in academic misconduct reported by both the American and the Israeli students is greater in face-to-face courses than in online courses. Stepwise regression showed that perceived opportunity predicts engagement in academic dishonesty, and this tendency is more likely to appear in face-to-face courses than in e-learning courses. Implications for further research are discussed. Keywords- Academic Dishonesty, Perceived Opportunity, E-Learning.
