I would think at a traditional university it would be easier, since you have hundreds of students all in the same area learning the same material. For online classes, there might only be 20 people in your class that are scattered all across the world. I don't think it would be as easy to find someone willing to help you cheat.
When we do written exams we are required to have our ID laying on the table together with our students card. At the end of the semester there is also always an oral exam on which you cannot really cheat.

Im also curious how they adress this in online schools.
