> I agree at a high level, but practically speaking it's not realistic to expect colleges to completely reinvent their entire teaching systems for a temporary, 1-2 year remote learning period.

I don't really understand what you mean by this though. I graduated college in 2007, and all throughout my time from 2003-2007 I had half my courses online, including the quizzes and tests.

Online courses and asynchronous testing isn't something new to Covid, colleges have been doing it for well over a decade now.

Yes you had people try and cheat their way through asynchronous testing by having friends take them earlier, but why is that more of a big deal now than it was previously?
