Dear Colleagues:
I divide the class in groups of three and ask them to act like neighbors sitting in a real classroom. They are encouraged to exchange emails and send me a copy if they so choose. The messages do not have to be related to the class. They get points for each message send up to a predefined maximum, usually not more than 1 percent of the grade.

Dear Colleagues:
Right now we are debating whether online learning will replace traditional learning.

I once saw a cartoon depicting a dog typing on a computer keyboard. The caption said in an online class they don't know that you are a dog!
But seriously, someone who wants to cheat wil do so in any format of class. Papers can be plagiarized as easily in a traditional class as in an online class. Unauthorized collaboration can also happen on or off line.
