Oh sorry, correction, please scratch "completely eliminate cheating" as kids are very smart and can always find a way ;P -> in a way, maybe a form of this that is possitively channeled should be encouraged in order to nurture lateral thinking? Like MacGyver competitions? Part of the reason why there's a lot of mess around right now is that there's not enough thinking out of the box and typical systems oft lazily foster the production of sheep :-/
Re: Browser-based testing system, one possiblity is to give time limits on each section which are tight enough that students will not be able to pass answers to each other since they're randomly given different problem sets + time limit. Since time pressure cannot always be applicable or appropriate though, the randomization of questions and answers will at the very list least make cheating harder.
