I only consider it "cheating" if they are doing an assessment test. Then I
make it explicit that they are not to talk or help each other. To assist
with that, I make sure that people sitting next to each other have different
tests.

Other than that, I encourage all the collaboration they want. Working
together is a more important skill than any other.
