Sure; when there are easy ways to send text messages around on little tiny devices, students will cheat. I wonder how you keep that from happening in the Steve Mann vision of always-on cyborgs? You'd have to actively jam the devices, since communication inside the classroom is as much a problem as access to the Internet. Or just retool to an open book system, which might be much better.

Another Vinge Prediction

Vernor Vinge's "Fast Times at Fairmont High" had the idea that some tests were open net and some were closed net, and some where just local net.

I heartily agree with "test understanding, not memory." Memory is cheap.
