UBC's student newspaper, The Ubyssey (@Ubyssey), has always had the best Proctorio coverage. I made a webpage with links so you can see it all in one place.

“Turnitin did not respond to requests for comment for this article, but has said that its scores should not be used as the sole determinant of A.I. misuse.”. We determine - you decide. Got it?.

Students are resorting to extreme measures to fend off accusations of cheating, including hourslong screen recordings of their homework sessions.

Ohio State University is also switching from Proctorio to Honorlock (people don't like doing business with litigious bullies) and created a help page showing instructors how to remove Proctorio's hidden HTML. Really scummy to add all this hidden code.

How's this for an Ethical Software Agreement?. “I will do everything in my power to obstruct, work against, and end academic surveillance technologies and their harm against students.”.
Proctorio now requires professors to accept an "Ethical Software Agreement" before accessing video surveillance and automated decisions for the first time. Now would be a good time to stop being a Proctorio professor. They sue people, you know.

I just backed Cory's latest Marty Hench book on Kickstarter! I greatly enjoyed Red Team Blues and The Bezzle and am looking forward to learning what Marty got up to in the 1980s. All three audiobooks are read by Wil Wheaton and come DRM-free.
*Picks and Shovels* is a new, standalone technothriller starring Marty Hench, my two-fisted, hard-fighting, tech-scam-busting forensic accountant. You can pre-order it on my latest Kickstarter, which features a brilliant audiobook read by Wil Wheaton:. 1/

"AI Detection: Using keyword detection and web traffic data, Proctorio can now flag the use of smart devices and web-based AI tools by test-takers." . Proctorio is policing keystrokes and web traffic now. Automated decision making on screen surveillance. This is a worse future.
Proctorio just added new functionality to make AI proctoring even more invasive. There's a companion app students can be forced to install on their phones. They've added AI detection. They've added more video surveillance flags. They've added more browser flags. It's obscene! 💩.
