This is one of the most satisfying public records I have ever requested. The tide is turning on remote proctoring in BC.
@Linkletter I hope Athabasca U will stop using them too… when I had to write remote exams, ProctorU was horrid.
I had accessibility accommodations (ex: screen reader, speech to text) for my exams, and their proctors would verbally interrupt me during exams when I was using the tools… even though the same proctor had just agreed in writing in the chat that I was allowed to use them.
The interruptions felt invasive and discriminatory. TLDR: They’re terrible.
