Online test-proctoring: educational spyware that lets third parties secretly watch and listen to you through your computer

But without any indication that the software is doing otherwise, this is just speculative fear mongering. Could Microsoft Word be logging my keystrokes? Are Skype calls being recorded for the NSA? (Okay, bad example!)

I think the much bigger issue is that SJSU apparently doesn’t allow students to opt out and take a test proctored by a human. A school of that size that already offers “meatspace” classes could certainly provide this, or allow third-party proctors. My local library charges me $10 and gives me a nice quiet room to work in.
