Since my quote in this piece doesn’t fully capture my feelings about remote and algorithmic proctoring, let me just add: “Stop using proctoring software. You are reducing education to surveillance and bureaucratic, button-mashing.” https://www.educationdive.com/news/colleges-flock-to-online-proctors-but-equity-concerns-remain/575642/

“The University of Wisconsin-Madison added a campuswide online proctoring tool in the nick of time. ‘We signed the contract just a couple weeks ago.’”

Stop using proctoring software.

“Over the past month, online proctoring companies have been flooded with requests from U.S. and foreign institutions looking for ways to maintain test security as they take campus-based classes online.”

Stop using proctoring software.

"’Overnight, we just got smoked,’ ProctorU CEO Scott McFarland said, noting that the company has been adding between 100 and 150 faculty members a day to its client list. ‘It was just an overwhelming volume increase.’”

Stop using proctoring software. Especially ProctorU.

“As they've grown over the last decade, online proctoring companies have been dogged by claims they violate students' privacy.”

Stop using proctoring software.

And my quote from the article: “‘Let go of the idea of continuity,’ said Jesse Stommel, cautioning institutions to not assume they can ‘continue on with business as usual’ during the pandemic.”

Also me: Stop using proctoring software.
