Incident 4244 Report
Canadian Universities’ AI Proctoring Tools Reportedly Collected Student Biometric Data Without Adequate Consent

2020-03-09

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadian universities reportedly used AI-enabled remote-proctoring tools for online exams.

Incident 1401 Report
University of Toronto's ProctorU Deployment Reportedly Disadvantaged BIPOC Students During Exam Check-Ins

2020-06-01

University of Toronto students reported that ProctorU and other online exam-monitoring services created discriminatory and stressful check-in experiences for BIPOC students during remote exams. One U of T student said ProctorU's identity-verification process often failed to recognize her passport, forcing manual checks and consuming exam check-in time. ProctorU said human proctors made final identity and integrity decisions.
