Why Your Remote Proctoring Approach Is Essential for Student Test-taking Success

When it comes to a school’s remote proctoring approach for online exams, the systemic bias of fully automated AI-based approaches is at least as concerning as the subjective bias of human proctoring. Today, bias in automated proctoring is known to disproportionately impact women and people of color, as well as students with certain medical conditions, resulting in widespread distrust of remote proctoring technology.
