Tutoring websites can facilitate and incentivize students to upload course materials in violation of syllabus and copyright policies. In a study investigating the prevalence of instructor-generated exam problems appearing online, 23.3% of all investigated problems appeared on tutoring websites, with those from an online graduate course appearing more frequently (74.7%) than traditionally-delivered undergraduate courses (11.2%). Reasons for this disparity as well as strategies to minimize this type of academic misconduct are presented.
