I've taken certification exams where an app is run on my machine verifying I have nothing else open and my camera had to be enabled, with me and my hands in view for the entirety of the test. There are ways to ensure cheating is more difficult than it's worth, however I see this tech as greatly changing what we want to learn and how we might learn it. It is transformative and not slowing down.

Yes sure it makes cheating inconvenient. It also makes exam taking inconvenient.

If I can at all help it, I will not be a subject to this sort of abuse and neither will my kid.
