How about you fix your UX problem instead of whining at your users for "doing it wrong"? "Cheating" is the same sort of absurd metric to academia as speeding is to police. It's not a particularly helpful metric, but it's quantifiable, and therefore gets the focus. Academia has been driving farther and farther from real learning and creating, and closer to memorization and testing. This is why computer science courses focus on physics and math, rather than designing software and writing code. The entry level to creating something meaningful is much higher in abstract science than in practical application, so courses for abstract concepts can lazily slide along with rote learning, and testing -grading tests seems to scale well- rather than have students create something unique and meaningful. The more unique homework is, the harder it is to compare. Cheating is simply the byproduct of an optimised-first design. It is a metric that clearly shows where academia has optimized out the value.
