[ARCHIVED] HonorLock

[connors5]

I want to start this discussion because I have never heard of this type of software before and wanted to know if anyone else has heard of it. I have concerns and wanted to know is this the new way of proctoring exams, I have concerns. I am taking an online class here at MVCC and the instructor is using something called "HONORLOCK" I have never heard of this, this is not my first on-line class here, but it is the first with this instructor. I haven't heard of any other instructor using this type of tool to proctor students for an exam. This " HonorLock" monitors the student through his/her webcam and during the exam the student is being monitored. My question is has anyone else experienced being proctored this type of way and were there any issues. My issue is that while I am being proctored the person that's doing the proctoring, while I am taking the test is busy trying to see what's going on my "Personal Space" which in my opinion is a privacy concern.
