WGRZ: Princeton ends 133-year no-proctor exam tradition amid AI cheating concerns. “Princeton’s honor system dates back to 1893, when students petitioned to eliminate proctors from exams and instead pledged not to cheat or assist others in cheating.

  6. 🚨 Oh no, Princeton! 😱 After a century of #trust, they've finally realized students might *cheat* on exams. Who knew? 🤯 Now, armed with proctors, they’re ready to assume every student is a criminal mastermind. 🎓🔍

  11. Studierende bei digitalen Hochschulprüfungen durch #Proctoring-Software zu überwachen ist rechtswidrig - das muss beendet werden! Dazu waren wir heute zur mündlichen Verhandlung vor dem Landgericht Erfurt. Jetzt warten wir auf die Entscheidung, die im Oktober kommt. Ausgang ungewiss...

    Danke an Elisabeth Niekrenz und @TilmanHerbrich von der Kanzlei @spiritlegal, dem freien zusammenschluss von student*innenschaften (fzs) und alle Unterstützer*innen.

  12. GarantePrivacy Vs Bocconi: il #proctoring è troppo invasivo

    Il sistema adottato dalla #Bocconi in pandemia per verificare lo svolgimento delle prove da remoto configura una raccolta di dati biometrici e non di dati comuni. La Cassazione (12967/2024) accoglie il ricorso del #GarantePrivacy contro la decisione del tribunale

  13. @vosje62 @fransdroog @ReneDamkot Tentamens/Examens en Proefwerken zou je op speciaal daarvoor bedoelde en door de school/installing beheerde computers moeten doen. Hier privé computers voor willen gebruiken opent een onoplosbare doos van pandorra qua #privacy en beheer, terwijl het het spiek probleem niet oplost.

  14. Más de 200 alumnos sacaron un 0 en sus exámenes online de la UNIR (Universidad en Internet de La Rioja). ¿Tan mal lo hicieron? No, hubo un fallo en el sistema de reconocimiento facial (#proctoring) que vigilaba que no copiaran. 🙈

    La universidad ha revisado las notas de algunos de los exámenes, pero no ha dado explicaciones sobre cuál fue el problema. vía @algorithmwatch algorithmwatch.org/en/spain-st

  15. #Spain #FacialRecognition #HigherEd #Proctoring: "Taking exams online is a common modality in many higher education institutions, especially after the coronavirus pandemic forced millions of students around the globe to stay at home. Some of these institutions opted to buy software that, once installed in the students’ computers at home, monitors their performance all the way. This means that the supervision during the test is mostly or fully automated – and there are times when this can affect people’s futures.

    These monitoring systems are known as ‘proctoring’ programs. In Spain, several universities started using them during the pandemic and kept them afterward for distance learning. Many of these universities relied on the proctoring software provided by the Spanish company Smowltech. Among them is the International University of La Rioja (UNIR), which has been accused by a group of students of failing around 200 people who took online exams last May. The reason could have been a glitch in Smowltech’s program.

    For several days, most of these students had a zero in several subjects, and it was not until they organized and reported the situation to the university that revisions started to take place."

  16. Over integriteit, (online) toezicht een cultuur van vertrouwen binnen het onderwijs
    Docenten aan de Stanford Universiteit proberen de erecode van de instelling te veranderen om ‘academische oneerlijkheid’ beter aan te pakken. Er is echter weerstand tegen één voorgestelde verandering: de introductie van toezicht bij tentamens. Dit is namelijk al meer meer dan een eeuw verboden bij deze universiteit.

  17. CW: Corona, Zynismus

    #Proctoring vs #OpenBook vs #Präsenz

    Was wünschen bei euch an der Uni die meisten Profs den Studierenden in der Klausurenphase?

  18. An alle Profs, die ihre Studierenden vor die Wahl stellen an Präsenz-Klausuren teilzunehmen oder #Proctoring mitzumachen (anstatt #OpenBook Klausuren, weil dann ist der Notenschnitt vielleicht nicht mehr 3,9 sondern mal mit einer zwei vorne dran):

    Kündigt euren Job und tragt mal was sinnvolles zur Gesellschaft bei, anstatt #Gesundheit, #Datenschutz und #Didaktik gegeneinander auszuspielen.

  19. Professoren der Uni Austin in Texas sollen auf Software zur Überwachung von Online-Prüfungen verzichten. Ein Komitee rät vom Einsatz der Software ab.
    US-Universität verwirft Überwachung von Online-Prüfungen per KI-Software
  20. Vor einem Monat war der @lfdi #BW, Dr. Stefan Brink, in unserem #DatenschutzAmMittag-Webinar zu Gast und hat über die Herausforderungen im Datenschutz beim Einsatz von #Proctoring-Software an Hochschulen berichtet: stiftungdatenschutz.org/verans

    Thematisch passend hat @kuketzblog nun ein Gutachten für die #GesellschaftFürFreiheitsrechte erstellt, in dem er die technisch tiefgehenden Eingriffe in die Computer der Studierenden analysiert: freiheitsrechte.org/proctoring

  21. Studium: Online-Überwachung von Prüfungen ist möglicherweise rechtswidrig -

    Das Gutachten von @kuketzblog / @kuketzblog für @freiheitsrechte zeigt eine Reihe von Problemen bei Online-#Proctoring an Universitäten auf.

  23. @lfdi Heute um 13:00 Uhr ist der @lfdi #BW, Dr. Stefan Brink, bei uns zu Gast und berichtet zur Überwachung von Studierenden in Prüfungssituationen mittels #Proctoring Software. Gerne noch anmelden und teilnehmen!

  24. Wer einen humoristischen Einstieg ins Thema #Proctoring sucht, dem sei dieses Video aus der Mediathek des @lfdi empfohlen: baden-wuerttemberg.datenschutz

    Und einen ersten Eindruck seiner inhaltlichen Positionen hat Dr. Brink kürzlich im Dr. Datenschutz-Podcast gegeben: dr-datenschutz.de/podcast/24-f

  25. Am 8. Juni ist der @lfdi #BW, Dr. Stefan Brink, in unserer "#Datenschutz am Mittag"-Reihe zu Gast. Wir werden uns mit ihm über den Einsatz von #Proctoring-Software und die Grenzen hierbei austauschen. Denn die Praxis, Online-Prüfungen mithilfe technischer Mittel zu überwachen, nimmt deutlich zu und nicht immer scheinen die Rechte der Studierenden ausreichend gewahrt.

  26. Jurastudent klagt gegen #Überwachung seiner #Uni bei online-Klausur

    Das Angebot, während der #Pandemie Klausuren zu schreiben, ist ok - aber:

    »Aber die Grundrechtseingriffe sind einfach zu offensichtlich, dagegen muss man sich wehren.«

    Recht hat er.

  27. @bignose Thank you! That quotation from @pluralistic summarizes the situation quite well: proctoring software is a rootkit.

    I’m surprised that so many people seem to think this is ok.

  28. Well, how annoying is this? If I take a university course online, I am now required to submit to online proctoring. That means granting some company access to my computer and webcam. No, no, no, a thousand times no.

    #university #proctoring #privacy #surveillance #academic

  29. what is the privacy policy (ideally) for online tests that use #webcam access for #proctoring? I am just wondering where pics of my home interiors will land up/end up.
