I teach mostly MS students, and at the moment I'm sitting in front of a class taking an exam, so as you might guess I have fairly strong feelings about proctoring. Basically I think that online evaluations have to be completely different than in-person ones. Proctoring is fairly trivial and non-intrusive for in-person tests - don't open your laptop, don't talk to the person next to you. For big tests in small rooms I assign seating. Online is different. Basically there is no reasonable way to keep someone from hiring someone on Chegg to do their entire test for them, and the most horrible proctoring software in the world won't stop a determined cheater from balancing a cell phone at the bottom of their laptop screen... You really need to use a different approach with online assessments, and honestly I don't know if it's possible to use online tests for some of the things that we use in-person tests for.
