::'''On-line Collaboration is Cheating'''
:::''Students today are '''learning how to collaborate in order to be successful in their future lives'''. This directive has been adopted into provincial school curriculum since this is the <u>skill</u> that businesses and our society <u>demand</u> from our future citizens''. Unfortunately, older generations have not been conditioned exposed to avoid the advantages of open-collaboration, and remain working in more traditional "off-line" forms of collaboration.

:::The youth are more comfortable and adaptable with on-line collaboration. Unfortunately, if instructors fail to embrace newer technologies, they may impede the growth of the students. If properly utilized and monitored, '''instructors could be "leading the students by example" to prepare them to collaborate in a proactive manner and enforcing the classic concepts such as "critical thinking", "research", and "interpretation"'''.
