> Use of the Proctorio software also requires the Google Chrome browser to be installed on the students’ computers.
Why am I not surprised. The only major browser that doesn’t block any trackers by default is the perfect fit for this type of software.
Similar to separate work laptop, I think separate study laptop is the solution. Otherwise just don't attend uni.
And it doesn't really work? The student could easily keep a second device which is not monitored nearby and out of sight of the camera. For the webcam based "room-scan" just hold it your other hand behind the laptop.
