#proctoru — Public Fediverse posts

About two months ago, WGU switched from Examity to ProctorU / Meazure for proctoring and it has been an unmitigated disaster on every possible level. WGU has been extremely unresponsive to any complaints or attempts to work out an in-person proctoring solution.

I've had two of the ProctorU exams so far and it's intolerable. I'm not looking forward to spending upward of an hour and a half ruining my room, then a minimum of 30 minutes dealing with ProctorU's nonsense, followed by the exam, and then 45 minutes fixing my room.

Apart from the issues of the proctors making up rules and being general jerks during a session, what the ProctorU software does on computers should probably be against the law.

The uni I work at is apparently considering using #ProctorU for remote exams.

From the website:
“AI-based behaviour analysis:
AI acts as a second set of eyes for the proctor, constantly monitoring behaviors and alerting the proctor to suspicious activity such as lighting changes, unusual noises and looking off screen consistently.”

What??

Even if we ignore the #privacy concerns, they don’t support Linux, Chromebooks or tablets, so that will be fun...
