How Proctorio Survived the Remote Testing Backlash

Proctorio, the remote proctoring software used by hundreds of universities, faced a massive student privacy backlash in 2020-2021. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how the company navigated lawsuits, negative press, and a coordinated student campaign to emerge with a revised business model and stricter data practices. They dive into the specific incident where a student reverse-engineered the Chrome extension, Proctorio's decision to pursue legal action, and how the company ultimately rebuilt its trust with institutional clients. The hosts also discuss the broader implications for edtech surveillance, the trade-offs between academic integrity and student privacy, and whether Proctorio's survival signals a durable shift in how we think about remote assessment. #Proctorio #Edtech #RemoteProctoring #StudentPrivacy #AcademicIntegrity #OnlineTesting #EdtechBacklash #Surveillance #DataPrivacy #ChromeExtension #ReverseEngineering #HigherEd #ProctorU #Honorlock #FERPA #PrivacyLaws #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
