Your Online Exam Experience Matters: How 4 Students Rate the Most Popular Platforms

When someone doesn't follow the rules in an academic environment, there must be consequences to ensure fairness. But what happens when the evidence isn’t clear? Or when the evidence absolving them is overlooked? The integrity of the system is lost. Academic institutions can easily fall into this situation when they choose the wrong online proctoring software. Relying solely on human proctors is impractical, imprecise, and does not offer the documentary evidence available in automated systems. Algorithmic proctoring solutions without human oversight, however, can produce inaccurate results, perpetuate systemic inequality, and leave students without recourse. And these are not the only factors universities and other academic institutions must consider; many remote proctoring solutions include features that students find profoundly intrusive or even discriminatory. Such products may catch violations during an online exam, but at what cost?

Why Online Proctoring Software Privacy Concerns Should Put Students First

Students often have very little power. The curriculum is set and professors and graduate student instructors are in control of grading. Since the pandemic began, the academic experience is a far cry from what many students signed up for. Meanwhile, the cost of education in the United States remains high, leaving many students with debts they will be paying for years to come. In addition to surrendering control and being shortchanged on the value of their education, they are now subject to intrusive proctoring approaches without the opportunity to give meaningful consent. That consent needs to be earned now. <ul id=""><li id="">Students have a right to be tested in a way that is fair.</li><li id="">Students have a right to pursue their educational goals without having to surrender their right to be treated with dignity and respect at all times, including while they’re being tested.</li><li id="">Educators are responsible for being advocates of the rights of their students, not the ones to endanger those rights. As Clark Kerr, former Chancellor of the University of California, once said, “The University is not engaged in making ideas safe for students. It is engaged in making students safe for ideas.” </li></ul>Addressing students’ online proctoring software privacy concerns requires not just technological innovation, but a commitment to protecting student dignity and staying responsive to student needs in <a href="https://www.rosalyn.ai/blog/proctoring-during-covid-requires-change-how-higher-ed-can-adapt-more-effectively-ros" target="_blank" id="">an evolving educational landscape</a>.

Why Online Test Administration Guidance Should Include Student Input

I often say that Rosalyn is different from other proctoring companies in that we put students first. Not students only, of course, because we pay close attention to the needs of educational institutions and certifying organizations which sign the contracts. But students first, in that students’ experience with online assessment technology is the most essential data we consider as we develop our online proctoring system. If you’re involved in developing online test administration guidance at a school, it behooves you to include student input.
