I was recently sponsored by my employer to do a professional certification which involved an online e-proctored exam. I was asked to install the e-proctoring software on my personal computer, because corporate security policy does not allow unvetted 3rd party software onto company devices. I told my employer that's my policy too, and that I would need to be supplied with a separate laptop if they wanted me to take the exam. They did.
I think if universities want to mandate use of e-proctoring software, they need to provide temporary/burner devices too.
- pastech 5y agoThe (almost) only problem that's left is the requirement of having the webcam on. Regardless of the client-side software that you can't trust, there are also third-party servers that will store all the recordings with personal information for a potentially long time, which is unacceptable and isn't fixable by temporary hardware (as we don't have a temporary face).
- MisterSandman 5y agoI think most people couldn't care less about installing software on their PC. You can always dual boot and create a partition for proctored exams and wipe it (which isn't 100% the same but pretty close) The issue is the fact that I have my camera on and there are people who I do not know who can see me and my room. I don't know how this information is being stored and who is seeing it.
