New services allow Ontario students to pay for notes from missed classes
Since launching last fall across Ontario, the student-run "note-sharing services" NoteWagon and StudyMonkey have drawn tens of thousands of hits each month across 16 campuses, and each have about 5,00 members who have signed up to post notes or purchase someone else's. The sites' young creators defend their services as online versions of what previous generations of classmates have done, and both websites carry disclaimers that they do not "condone cheating or missing class." Still, some university officials warn that such sites cannot help but encourage laziness and offer another method for today's tech-addicted youth to download their way out of experiencing real life.
