3 UW-Madison students say online exam software didn’t detect their darker skin [The Wisconsin State Journal]
Apr. 3 UW-Madison has disabled a feature on its digital proctoring software after receiving reports that the technology failed to recognize several students’ darker skin tones during online exams, university officials said.
Privacy has been at the heart of most students’ complaints about Honorlock, the anti-cheating software UW-Madison started using last summer after classes went entirely online.
But critics of the technology have also raised concerns about how it can discriminate against students of color and others whose appearance or behavior may be flagged by the software as abnormal, which then alerts an instructor to potential cheating.
