The UBC Vancouver Senate has passed a motion for UBCV faculties to restrict the use of automated remote invigilation tools, like Proctorio, that use algorithmic analysis of data recorded during invigilation, except where accreditation bodies explicitly require remote proctoring software.
As this motion is effective immediately, faculty who planned to use such tools to invigilate exams for courses that do not fall under the above exemption will need to investigate alternative tools and/or methods for assessment.
