- dr_dshiv 4y agoNope. That online test proctoring is the real surveillance, too. This ruling is just going to make edtech companies way less likely to use their product data to support product improvement. It is already super rare in edtech—because you don’t make more money when your product creates better learning! So edtech companies rarely use their existing data. * Based on my experiences working with many education companies.
- noasaservice 4y agoWhat exactly do you mean by "the real surveillance"? Coerced 'acceptance' into this sort of shit after you sign up for a class is unconscionable. And that's aside the medical disabilities, bathroom needs, being black, being asian... Frankly, being anything not white and no medical issues. > This ruling is just going to make edtech companies way less likely to use their product data to support product improvement. The ruling will scare these lousy administrators from even buying seats to the software, let alone using it to "improve educational outcomes". And to that, I say "Good riddance". Burn that whole surveillance market. Completely. And yes, I've also worked for a while in an educational setting as a systems engineer. There's a reason I left that space. It's corrupt as fuck, nobody actually cares - its just a bunch of sycophants making non-changes or bad changes and looking at beneath-noise rates of margin of errors.
