You know what would be a really good way to show if your students learned your course material? Let them show it with a practical test of some kind...
My daughter had to write a university paper once. They required two cameras to be running. One atop the screen like you use for meetings, and one showing the whole desk and the tested person.
Redhat would randomly interrupt your test and ask you to stand up, pick up the camera and show the room
Privacy invasion. I doubt that would hold water in the EU.
Also, do we really want to normalize mandatory cameras broadcasting from people's homes? Where's the outrage?
That was in the EU
In the UK I refused to turn my camera on in online class and cited GDPR. The next class the lecturer informed us that he can't force us to do it anymore due to GDPR. Lol.
It's really useless too. If I wanted to cheat on a test so fucking bad, I'd learn to read braille and just stick reference material under my desk.
Iβd clone my monitor to a second monitor in another room and then use an AirPod or something similar to communicate with someone searching for the answers using the second screen and a second device.
When I did those tests, checking your ears was a required step. Plenty of other subtle ways to communicate though
Did you say vibrating butt plug?
There was an actual person that went through a checklist when I had to do my online stuff. They would look at graphics settings and things like xbox bars and such. I guess some people can get really creative. It was irritating having to have a 'clean' account so they wouldn't get access to anything that I wanted private.
Easy enough to put notes or a phone on the backside of your monitor. Pearson doesn't check there during their room scans

Mine had an external webcam that had to be purchased, and you had to have the laptop webcam on. It was ridiculous.
Thats not necessary for online teaching. I just got my degree and there were some online courses too, never had to deal with any of this anti cheating crap.
We just have open book exams, problem solved
