Massey University responds to students anxious over lack of tech for on-line, AI supervised exams

Anxious Massey University students say they are ill-prepared to sit exams on-line, supervised by AI, as now required by the university.

Massey has recently introduced new rules, requiring thousands of undergraduates to sit exams on line, using an app called Remote Proctor Now which records and monitors students during on-line exams. It requires a webcam and microphone to be left on throughout the exam.

Massey says it is providing laptops and quiet rooms, but student representatives say what’s being provided is not enough to meet the need.
