I'd rather go into a testing center and use someone else's device than infect my own system with whatever spyware they'll insist students install to try and prevent cheaters.
Yeah, good luck with that. If there's one thing remote teaching during covid taught me it's that you can't stop someone from cheating during an online assessment.
I graduated from WGU and I wouldn't have known how to cheat on the many proctored tests. The only special software I installed was Zoom. I had to have a detached USB camera and show myself and my testing area, and then during the test the camera was to my side showing both myself and the laptop screen.
I'm sure it's possible, but that seems just as secure as a random highschool teacher, which was the only anti-cheat of decades past.
I wonder when they changed that. I was there around 2014, and back then you either had to install their anti cheat software, or go to a local testing/proctor center.
How is that experience relevant? Students aren't taking the test remotely, they are taking it in a controlled test center, just possibly with their own device.
It will only be offered in testing centers and high schools. However, students will use either school-owned devices or their own. I believe they can download and take a practice test on the device in advance, to make sure everything works smoothly. I still wouldn't want to install the stuff on my device!
