It's probably just a faculty asking the student to make a 360 with the webcam, according to what they did in my country.
That procedure is full of holes, though. There are so many ways to cheat when you don't take a test on-site, that it's not even funny. Those tests have to be performed with a computer on to begin with. I've heard that in some cases, there was testing software that would scan the computer too, similar to games' anti-cheat devices.
Schools first implemented that procedure in a hurry then stuck to it, and they thought they could violate privacy "a little" because states and countries themselves adopted exceptional laws that limited human rights. That felt wrong to me when it happened, and I am glad that at least a judge in the US confirmed it was wrong.
