How long before Respondus introduces an education equivalent of BattlEye or other kernel-level anticheats as a result of stuff like this?
And I don’t mean the Lockdown browser, I mean something beyond that, so as to block local AI Implementations in addition to web-based ones.
Also, I’m pretty sure there’s still plenty of fields that are more hands-on and either really hard or impossible to AI-cheat your way through. For example, if you’re going for carpentry at the local vo-tech, good luck AI-cheating your way through that when that’s a very hands-on subject by its nature.
Back when I was in grade school in the mid 1990’s, we were one of the first families to have a computer. We weren’t allowed to ANY schoolwork on it. If you had to write a paper, it had to be written by hand. Which, as someone who could type much faster and used bigger words, was REALLY fucking annoying.
But yeah, I imagine we need to go back to dumb, disconnected computers in exam halls to keep things above board. It’s depressing to see how lazy this tech makes students.
Or even actually show what they learned in a practical sense. In a vo-tech, for example, have the students fix up a car or get a small LAN set up, or even in the case of an art school, have the class do a mural outside as their end-of-instruction project (which sounds like a really fun end-of-instruction project, btw), with admin approval, of course.

Or, ya’know, they could just have students take tests on paper in a lecture hall.
Doesn’t even need to be paper. Have locked-down, internet-disconnected computers in the exam hall bas glorified typewriters.

Exactly, that’s how it works in my country. I think the PCs are connected to a local server that then matches the results to your id and email.

tools like that were going big in the pandemic for online exams. Basically rootkits that fully compromise your machine
