Somehow going to college just doesn't seem like as much fun as it used to be

Cheating-detection companies made millions during the pandemic. Now students are fighting back.

One system, Proctorio, uses gaze-detection, face-detection and computer-monitoring software to flag students for any “abnormal” head movement, mouse movement, eye wandering, computer window resizing, tab opening, scrolling, clicking, typing, and copies and pastes. A student can be flagged for finishing the test too quickly, or too slowly, clicking too much, or not enough.
