The Integrity of Online Exams in the Online Learning Environment during COVID-19 at Higher Education Institutions in Cambodia

Abstract

Nothing is constant but change,” Greek philosopher Heraclitus said. Since change is a natural phenomenon, if being a change leader is hard, the best way to respond is to adapt. Resisting change can be a manner that would lead one to be left behind and suffer from it. A real example of a phenomenal change that is the most current is the mode of education imposed by the COVID-19 global pandemic. If any educational institution is resisting the current change or is unable to adapt, it would mean that they have no choice but to halt the momentum of the education process willingly. Only an institution that can adapt to it can ensure the continuous education process. To gather experiences that will help institutions grow, they should learn not to get stuck in the past and let the current of existence take them to new, unknown places (Archon, n.d.). That should be echoed by Bruce Lee’s philosophy, which suggested that one should be like water and let it keep flowing, saying that ‘running water never grows stale.’ By the law of nature, however, change is natural. It is a part of life, and accepting it can lead to better growth and new possibilities. Without change, there is no opportunity. Only with change is there an opportunity for better growth. Only with change and by being capable of adapting to change is there an opportunity to learn new things and experience new possibilities.
