No. Professors want students that don’t cheat so they never have to worry about it.

This is an ethics problem (people willing to cheat), this is a multi cultural problem (different expectations of what constitutes cheating) this is an incentive problem (credentialism makes cheating worth it).

Those are hard problems. So a little tech that might scare students and give the professor a feeling of control is a band aid.
