  While Jennifer was at hose taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor(監(jiān)控器)a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.

  Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer's Los Angeles apartment , the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved form the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room.Her Internet access was locked -remotely-to prevent Internet searches , and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was:Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?

  In the battle against cheating , this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education.The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general.Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid-that students haven't just searched the Internet to get the right answers.

Private colleges,public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field.spending millions of dollars to attract potential students,while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.

  Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular Among them are programs that check students' identities using personal information, such as the telephone number they once used.

  My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to male it to 45.He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

  Since the day 1 was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my beart.One it aways times out.“Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer.But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.”Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.”He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask.“Is this what you were talking about, Dad?Should I keep going?”

  A long way frim 12 now, I realize hew would have been proud when I made any progress.Lately, thongn.I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to winat com next: to be nrood of and believe in, somebody else.It's time to start writing my own letters to my children.Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had.Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail.They're only afraid of failing us.They don't worry about being disappointed.Their fear-as mine was until my father's letter-is of being a disappointment.

  Give your chikdren permission to succeed.They're witing for you to believe in them.I always knew way parents loved me.But trust my That elic will be more comlece, that love will be more real, and their belief in the nelces whi be greater if you write the words on their hearts;“Don't worry; you'll do something great.”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
