Navigating Ethics and Edtech: Building Responsible Learning Environments

EdTech Sandbox Series: Beyond Surveillance – The Case Against AI Detection and AI Proctoring
|
|
|
|
Are you an educator seeking a supportive space to critically examine AI surveillance tools? This workshop is for you.
|
|
In an era where AI increasingly pervades education, AI detection and proctoring have sparked significant controversy. These tools, categorized as academic surveillance software, algorithmically monitor behaviour and movements. Students are increasingly forced to face them. Together, we will move beyond surveillance toward a culture of trust and transparency, shining a light on the black box of surveillance and discussing our findings.
|
In this two-hour workshop, we will explore AI detection and proctoring through a 40-minute presentation, an hour of activities and discussion, and 20 minutes of group tool evaluation using a rubric.

We use the learning management system Brightspace and we have recently transitioned from using Bongo, a video conferencing tool included with our Brightspace license, to Class for Teams. This transition is concurrent with the institution’s move away from Zoom as our non-teaching web conferencing to the use of MS Teams. Class for Teams has proven to have quite a learning curve, even for old hands who’re experienced with Elluminate, Collaborate, and BlueJeans, and the Educational Technologies group within the LTC is rolling out an extensive training plan for faculty and staff this fall.
