Does anyone have a good "best practices for faculty" for Respondus lockdown and monitor?

as much as i absolutely loathe taking respondus lockdown quizzes atleast im doing like, fine with an average of 10/15 on the 2 quizzes so far even with the dystopian pressure of having my computer record me in my own apartment to send the footage to some random database for who knows how long

They almost got there! They almost discovered the racism. But that was not the assignment. Instead it's just a matter of "controlling for dark lighting" so there is "normal lighting".

I found a bias audit of Respondus Monitor commissioned by the company. It says:

"By 2025, however, the high level of precision of
Respondus Monitor’s face detection models has turned the
question of algorithm fairness into a footnote rather than a
headline."

There are competitors in the space. My wife’s university uses Respondus Lockdown Browser. An advantage of it is that students have laptops anyway They don’t like installing stuff though and could be hacked respondus-lockdown-browser.en.softonic.com

They do! And I think that they enjoy being able to add quotes to their essays (with page numbers and all) and crafting their half-page of notes is, by itself, good studying, I think. I have used Respondus Lockdown pretty successfully too.

I will die on the hill that respondus monitor is invasive and completely unnecessary.

Blue books exist.

There are also very easy ways to tell if they're cheating without installing malware that you cannot guarantee isn't being accessed by outside actors.

yeah, respondus does that. Exams/quizzes/assessments still have to be proctored in-person, because otherwise the student will just get two side-by-side devices, one locked and one producing the chatgpt answers.

Kinda need vast computer labs with no internet access, but that doesn't exist.

update: lg blu-ray drive did not die.

respondus lockdown browser messed with the regedit entries that allowed my laptop to communicate with the drive in the first place.

so my new drive will be for safekeeping since they'll be phased out soon anyway ig...

i hate my prof so much :333

"you must install Respondus onto your personal computer in order to take this exam for one singular summer course"

fucked up that my next summer class im taking next week requires me to install Respondus Lockdown Browser and about a majority of what I've read about it says that its just straight up spy/malware

In a university IT survey, I said that Respondus reminds me of one of the more disturbing scenes in *A Clockwork Orange.*

“Respondus” sounds like either:

1. the AI police bot agency in a cyberpunk story (“don’t make so much noise or Respondus will be on our asses!”)

2. a suicide drug (“things got pretty bad. I found a Respondus box by their bedside at one point”)

I know everyone is scrambling to figure out how to respond to GenAI in the classroom, but

1. More surveillance tech will not be the answer

2. “Respondus LockDown Browser” & “Respondus Monitor” have to be in contention for the most dystopian edtech product names of all time—which is a high bar
