Invasive Proctoring Software Undermining Trust and Privacy in Digital Exams

Summary

Students are required to install proctoring software that demands full administrative access to their entire computer, including registry and file structures, raising severe privacy and data misuse concerns. The software's true intent is unclear, and students feel violated and distrustful of the digital exam process. Current proctoring solutions are either too intrusive or ineffective, leaving no good option for secure, privacy-respecting online assessments. This unsolved problem causes significant anxiety, undermines the integrity of digital exams, and discourages student participation in online education.
