Abstract	Integrity and quality of assessments on the online platform should be upheld to ensure that it supports student learning as well as the efficacy of teaching because in the end it measures the reputation of an institution. How institutions have traversed such domains remains a grey area. This paper provides anecdotal insights into how staff from a South African university have taken steps to mitigate against cheating to preserve integrity and quality of assessments. For this, a carefully designed survey with questions pertaining to integrity and quality of assessments were designed and administered to 11 physics staff members of the university. Results of the survey were presented and discussed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Results reveal that staff are serious about the integrity of assessments and have employed various techniques to combat it, but full proof integrity of assessments cannot be fully arrested on the online platform with proctoring and other strategic measures in place. (As Provided).
