Company that makes millions #spying on students will get to sue a whistleblower (permalink)

"Yesterday, the Court of Appeal for British Columbia handed down a jaw-droppingly stupid and terrible decision, rejecting the whistleblower Ian Linkletter's claim that he was engaged in legitimate criticism when he linked to freely available materials from the ed-tech surveillance company Proctorio:

#Proctorio is a massive, wildly profitable ed-tech company that sells a surveillance tool to monitor students while they take high-stakes tests from home. The tool monitors the student's computer and the student's face, especially their eye-movements. It also allows instructors and other personnel to watch the students and even take control of their computer. This is called "remote invigilation.""

Die #Zürcher #Datenschutzbeauftragte Dominika #Blonski kritisiert Hochschulen und Universitäten, die Überwachungssoftware bei Online-Prüfungen einsetzen. Die Programme bearbeiteten eine große Menge an Personendaten. In der Kritik steht vor allem die Software #Proctorio, die während der Corona-Zeit bei der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften #ZHAW zum Einsatz kam. Sie zeichnet Bild, Ton und den Netzverkehr auf und analysiert Augen- und Kopfbewegungen.

Wenn eine Prüfung nur mit erheblichen Eingriffen in die Privatsphäre funktioniert, ist es vielleicht Zeit, das Prüfungsformat an die Situation anzupassen. #privacy #prüfungskultur #proctorio

Professor Dr. Peter Wedde, über den #BBA21-Preisträger #Proctorio, der Systeme zur automatisierten Vollüberwachung für digitale Prüfungen vertreibt:
#BBA21 @proctorio@twitter.com

#bba21 Gibt es Möglichkeiten, #proctorio in einer Virtuellen Maschine oder so einzusperren? Welche Betriebssysteme funktionieren damit? Die Verhaltensprüfung ist schlimm genug, aber Prüfling.in muss ja auch technisch viel zulassen, deshalb die Sandboxüberlegung.

Automatisierte Verdachts... statt #Unschuldsvermutung

Welches Wort hat Prof. Wedde verwendet?

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum BBA, #proctorio !
