In addition, educators can also use innovative technical means to prevent students from cheating, such as protecting browsers (such as SafeExamBrowser), video monitoring systems and other technical means, as well as skilled examination methods, such as open-book examination and phased examination.

Finally, educators and students should also maintain communication and establish a good learning atmosphere and trust relationship. Through various means, such as parent-teacher conferences, seminars, homework guidance, etc. Students can understand that their grades and exam results are the result of their own efforts, not through cheating or other improper means.

In short, when encountering natural disasters such as epidemic, it is important to provide better educational resources for learners and establish a good learning atmosphere and trust relationship with them. It is also important for fair invigilation and examination methods. Educators and students can work together to meet the challenges in online learning under the educational background of establishing honesty and responsibility, and jointly create a warmer, more harmonious and more fruitful online education environment.
