misconduct can be detected through the capture of Internet Protocol (IP) addressesand time stamp activity tracking features of LMS systems. The LMS reporting features can beused to research a student’s access of an assignment, compare IP addresses with those of otherstudents in the course, and check the IP address location against the likely location of the student.University IT staff may be able to access additional LMS data if misconduct on a wider scale issuspected. These LMS features can rapidly be deployed to investigate suspected cases andprovide solid evidence to punish academic dishonesty.This paper presents best practices for time-constrained educators to use an LMS for supportingacademic honesty and protecting honest students.

content and reflections from the instructor, TAs, and students.1. IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic disrupted higher education worldwide in March 2020. Colleges anduniversities abruptly stopped in-person instruction and instead required remote teaching.Instructors’ challenges included preparing virtual lessons, learning videoconferencing software,and selecting appropriate graded assessments. At the same time, students’ learning routines weredisrupted as many returned home and were away from their peers; some students also lost thesafety net that the university provided, such as reliable food and shelter [1]. Furthermore, bothstudents and faculty were affected by limited internet connectivity and additional familyresponsibilities due to the
