Can Teachers Tell if you Cheat on Google Forms?

Our most read Question on Quora answered here

Google Forms itself does not include built-in cheating prevention or detection features.

However, teachers can enhance test security by using a proctoring solution like MonitorExam alongside Google Forms.

MonitorExam, a web-based application, enables secure test administration by monitoring students while they complete a Google Forms-based exam. Teachers simply input the Google Forms link into MonitorExam, which then proctors the session and alerts educators if any cheating is suspected.

Can Teachers Detect Cheating on Google Forms?

This is one of our most frequently asked questions on Quora! While some may ask this to find ways to bypass detection, our goal is to promote academic integrity. Google Forms does have an education-focused version that allows teachers to set up exams, including options for multiple-choice questions with pre-filled answers. However, for enhanced security, tools like MonitorExam are essential.

The figure above explains how a teacher can create a test in google forms which can be monitored by the teacher.

This software (web app) administers a Google Forms based test (you have to input the google forms link in the web app) while proctoring the student i.e. and tracks the time, user presence, environment etc.

MnitorExam warns the teacher if there is any cheating suspected.

Even if teacher is not online during the exam MoitorExam will inform the teacher of the misconduct.

Our request to students is that even if there are no such smart apps deployed with Google Forms, please follow the honor code and DO NOT CHEAT.
