Chegg Inc. announced a new tool available to faculty in response to the dramatic shift to online home assessments and examinations due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Honor Shield allows professors to confidentially, and without charge, pre-submit exam or test questions, preventing them from being answered on the Chegg platform during a time-specified exam period. After a successful trial, Chegg is now offering the service to faculty across the United States, and eventually globally. At the height of the pandemic in spring 2020, 1,388 out of 1,442 colleges surveyed (96%) had moved online according to the Davidson College Crisis Initiative dashboard. Of 2,958 US colleges surveyed in the fall of 2020, around two thirds (65%) were still delivering at least part of their programs virtually. Honor Shield adds to a range of measures already in place to prevent abuse of Chegg’s platform. These include constant technology and human monitoring, training of all Chegg experts, prompts for users, banning of abusers from the Chegg platform, strict adherence to DMCA removal protocols, and rigorous enforcement of Chegg’s honor code, including cooperating with official university honor code investigations.
