There's that four letter F-word: "feel". Feeling has nothing to do with it. There is no "grey area".


A good tactic to get around it, depending upon the academic department, is to require the students to make regular message board posts or to blog fairly constantly. Requiring engagement with each other makes it harder for others to ghost-write. There are fun ways to set up the forums through a little bit of gamification.
