So, to recap: Sitting in a classroom taking a test under the watchful gaze of a proctor? Par for the course.
Sitting at home taking a test under the watchful gaze of a proctor, via your computer? “…A serious privacy violation…going too far…surveillance of sorts.”
The solution to that problem seems pretty simple: don’t allow for at-home testing. Too bad that might mean fewer available classes. Either way, it looks like the article’s Mr. Nguyen is going to have something to complain about.
The irony is that the university proctors tests because they don’t trust the students, and the students don’t want to use the software because they don’t trust the companies doing the proctoring.
